Paramount+ is all set for the launch on December 10 of Who the Hell Is Hamish?, a new Australian series inspired by a true story of fraud, manipulation, and financial deceit. Starring Dominic Cooper (Preacher) and Claire van der Boom (Hawaii Five-0), joined by a cast of local talents, the drama, for which an official trailer has been released, tells a tale that crossed several countries, highlighting the devastating consequences of scams against ordinary people.
The Plot of Who the Hell Is Hamish?
The story centers on Hamish McLaren (Cooper), a man who appears charming, educated and reliable, yet is in fact behind an elaborate fraud scheme. After returning to Australia from Canada, Hamish targets Bec (van der Boom), a single, divorced mother of three with access to a substantial family fortune, as his new potential victim. However, some suspicious behaviors and the inconsistencies in the man’s accounts push the woman to investigate. What initially seems like a simple personal doubt becomes the discovery of an international network of deceit, which would have caused financial losses exceeding 70 million dollars.
Created and written by Adam Zwar (Lowdown, the Australian Wilfred) and directed by Jeffrey Walker (Apple Cider Vinegar, The Artful Dodger), Who the Hell Is Hamish? also features the actors Simone Kessell, Kate Jenkinson, Marta Dusseldorp and Remy Hii. All episodes will be released concurrently.
