PRODUCTION on a new Australian drama from the makers of SeaChange and starring Catherine McClements will start on Monday.

The Network Ten series CrashBurn will explore two sides of a troubled relationship with a cast of well-known Aussie actors, many of whom are AFI Award winners.

The 13-part series was created by Deb Cox and Andrew Knight, who also created the ABC hit SeaChange and have collaborated on shows and films including Simone de Beauvoir's Babies and Siam Sunset.

SeaChange stars William McInnes and Alison Whyte (the producer's assistant in Frontline) will also appear in CrashBurn in guest roles.

The series is one of four Australian drama series produced by Network Ten this year. Others are the legal drama Life, cop series White Collar Blue and the second series of The Secret Life of Us.
