Every era has its hipsters. Soul mates Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nick Boshier grope for the cutting edge - past present and future - in a bromance for the ages. Soul Mates is a 6-part comedy created by Connor Van Vuuren (Bondi Hipsters, SICK!), Nick Boshier (Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az) and Christiaan Van Vuuren (Bondi Hipsters, Fully Sick Rapper).

This is a story of five unlikely allies in life who throw caution to the wind and hit upon a unique solution to a common problem. Ignoring the nay-saying of families and friends, they're teaming up, signing contracts and buying a house together. Yes, it's a grand social experiment.

“Kate Ballard (Asher Keddie) is facing her first election for State Premier. Committed and rigorous, her victory seems assured… until the opposition announces a shock new candidate: David McLeod (Rodger Corser), a popular media identity… and a man Kate had a secret, tumultuous affair with several years ago. To the world at large, David and Kate present as compelling, evenly matched adversaries… But a paranoid Kate fears that their complicated history is a trump card waiting to be played. Told in six parts, building to an election-night finale, this is a cat-and-mouse game, played out on a grand scale.”

Inspired by the Shakespeare play, a mixed-race relationship blooms against the backdrop of violence and racial tension in a Melbourne housing project.
