Apple+ TV drama filmed in Warrnambool launches worldwide

Last Seen, a six-part drama shot in Warrnambool, debuted September 9 on Apple+ TV globally.

The series was filmed across south-west Victoria in June 2025 and shows local landmarks: the Warrnambool Breakwater, Twelve Apostles, and Flagstaff Hill. The script also mentions towns like Koroit, Rosebrook and Portland.

Mayor Ben Blain said it was amazing to see Warrnambool on screen. Flagstaff Hill closed for three days during filming.

This brought film crews and local extras to the city. Blain said the economic boost has given Warrnambool the confidence to attract more productions.
