Both Worlds: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

This season is about an exciting new group of young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds who are tackling their fears, their pasts and their futures head on. From a Romanian orphan to a Muslim drag queen, the fourth series of this cutting edge show presents deeply personal stories that challenge stereotypes and provide insights into communities we rarely see on screen.

Each episode introduces one entertaining young first, second, third or fourth generation New Zealander as they turn a camera on themselves to share life-changing journeys that will see them pushed to their emotional limits. A refreshingly-varied mix of stories that tackle everything from the popular to the profound, Both Worlds is at once funny, fascinating and moving while broaching the tough cultural and identity questions.

Witness the surprisingly universal struggles of a broad spectrum of Kiwis as our participants seek to define themselves as New Zealanders. Both Worlds is the most candidly fresh, fun and compelling look at the changing face of our nation on television.
