Territory season 1 is a Neo-western series that was released on October 24, 2024. It brings viewers into a gritty neo-Western world with a story set against the sprawling, rugged landscape of Marianne Station-the world's largest cattle ranch.
The Netflix series centers around the Lawson family as they battle to protect their inheritance and legacy after the passing of the patriarch of the family, Daniel Lawson. The series focuses on a high-stakes family drama, reflecting the intense battle in maintaining control over the vast, wild environment.
One of the standouts of the show is crafting an atmosphere that is menacing yet tempting; a good amount of this is done through the soundtrack, by a well-chosen selection and the haunting, evocative musical scores of composers Johnny Klimek and Gabriel Mounsey.
With notable credits such as The Matrix Resurrections and Sense8, Klimek and Mounsey bring drama and beauty to the series through the Lawsons' dynamics as they deal with rivalries and family secrets.

Plot Summary of Territory Season 1
In Territory, the harsh landscape of Australia's Northern Territory provides a striking backdrop for a battle that unfolds for power and succession in the Lawson family who faces threats from all sides, when Colin Lawson, whose patriarch of the family with Robert Taylor of Longmire, finds himself leaderless following the unexpected death of his favored son at his side.
His other son, Colin's last hope for survival is Graham (Michael Dorman), who is fighting for his life with alcohol. Still, Emily, his son's widow who happens to be killed, is none other than the Newsreader, Anna Torv. All the same, she stands ready to stake her rights; she has proved herself a stalwart in the business already, and this has garnered her respect that will confer on her a secure position with its ranks.
Chalked on top of everything else are the struggles with the other factions, trying to shut down the empire that the Lawson family controls. Stakes shoot up as the potential heirs for the legacy include Marshall (Sam Corlett) - Colin's grandson and an alkie with a questionable past and Susie (Philippa Northeast) his granddaughter and college drop out.
The already complex circumstances are further complicated by wealthy mining moguls, indigenous elders, and rival cattle barons, all clamoring for a slice of the Lawson land and power. The family has to confront internal and external challenges amidst this harsh, isolated context, where each decision is a make-or-break issue for securing their future or tearing their dynasty apart.
