2025 / Dark campus comedy / Created by Craig Anderson & Gretel Vella
A protest becomes the starting point of a murder mystery.
What is He Had It Coming about?
Two college women create a feminist art protest after frustrating encounters on campus. When a killer makes use of their project, an unlikely partnership becomes necessary to work out who is responsible and how to keep the act from defining them.
Five things to know.
The starting situation
Elise and Barbara’s art project unexpectedly connects them to a campus murder, turning an act of protest into an immediate investigative problem.
The world around it
University life supplies a setting of social differences, public statements and competing expectations, giving the women’s developing alliance plenty of friction.
The central pressure
The project’s new association with violence leaves them trying to find an answer while managing the consequences of something they intended differently.
The creative approach
Craig Anderson and Gretel Vella create the Australian comedy, with Lydia West, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Liv Hewson in the principal cast.
Before episode one
The series combines a campus mystery with dark comedy; it does not offer a straightforward account of a real criminal investigation.
A thought to take with you.
The protest was meant to make a statement, but another person gives it a new meaning. The premise turns control over a public act into a practical mystery.
Is it your kind of series?

Three ideas to take with you.
