Sisters is an Australian television drama series, created by Jonathan Gavin and Imogen Banks, and produced by Imogen Banks and Nicole O'Donahue, that screened locally on Network Ten in October 2017 and launched as a Netflix Original Series on September 1, 2018.
Synopsis
Sisters follows the story of Julia Bechly as her life is turned upside-down when her father, in vitro fertilisation pioneer Dr Julius Bechly, publishes a deathbed confession that during his award-winning 30 year career as a fertility specialist, he used his own sperm and is potentially the father of hundreds of children. Julia decides to make the most of the situation and throws a family gathering where she finds out she has hundreds of brothers, but only two sisters: troubled children's television star Roxy Karibas and belligerent lawyer Edie Flanagan.
