SundanceTV and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC TV) together announced that the drama series Cleverman will launch in the United States on SundanceTV on Wednesday, June 1 at 10/9c, and in Australia on ABC and ABC iview on Thursday, June 2 at 9.30pm.

ComicBook.com has an exclusive look behind the scenes with Adam Briggs, Gurrumul Yunupingu and Trials. You can check it out here.

Set in the near future, Cleverman is a startlingly original drama rooted in Aboriginal mythology. The series depicts a deeply conflicted and anxious society, fearful of a minority group living among them, endowed with extraordinary physical traits. One young man – The Cleverman – struggles with his own power and the responsibility to unite this divided world, but he must first overcome a deep estrangement from his older brother. The series is based on an original concept by Ryan Griffen.
