A Place to Call Home is an Australian television drama series, created by Bevan Lee for the Seven Network, which premiered in 2013.

[1] Set in rural New South Wales after World War II, it follows Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp), who has returned to Australia after twenty years abroad to start a new life and ends up clashing with wealthy matriarch Elizabeth Bligh (Noni Hazlehurst).

Development for A Place to Call Home began after Bevan Lee completed his "domestic trilogy" (Always Greener, Packed to the Rafters and Winners & Losers).

[5] Lee told The Age that he wanted to create a romance-driven melodrama based in the 1950s because people's lives in the present are "relatively bland".

Abby Earl told McWhirter, "We're locked in pre-production in August and then we start filming in September, so there's plenty of time for me to get back in Anna's shoes.

[17] In June 2014, however, the magazine reported that Channel Seven had declined the option to renew the series, and that the cast and crew had been told that they would not be required for a third season.

[19] On 25 October 2014, The Daily Telegraph announced that A Place to Call Home was renewed for another two seasons and would return in late 2015, airing on Foxtel channel, SoHo.

[6] The pilot episode was originally broadcast on 28 April 2013, in the 8:30 pm time slot (previously occupied by Downton Abbey).

Region 1: A Place to Call Home – Music from Seasons 1–5 was released on 20 October 2017[36][37] The series was praised in a 2021 column by Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the United States, in the Jewish online magazine, Tablet.

He continued: "A Place to Call Home proves that Jews, God, and Israel needn’t be lambasted or lampooned to achieve high ratings.
