The Divorce is an Australian comedy opera miniseries which was broadcast on the ABC on four successive nights from 7 to 10 December 2015. The four-part series is written Joanna Murray-Smith with music by Elena Kats-Chernin. Based on an original idea by Lyndon Terracini, it was developed by Opera Australia and directed for television by Dean Murphy. Outside filming took place at Werribee Park Mansion west of Melbourne.
Wealthy couple Iris (Marina Prior) and Jed (John O'May) are happily getting a divorce and throwing an elaborate party. By the end of the evening, Iris and Jed's divorce has triggered a renegotiation of all certainties and the characters are set on an unanticipated course. Louise (Lisa McCune), the younger sister of Iris is secretly in love with art critic Jed. Toby (Hugh Sheridan) is an aspiring artist critic, hired to work as a waiter at the party. William (Matthew McFarlane) is Iris' young and handsome lover, an accountant who lacks charisma. Caroline (Kate Miller-Heidke) is Jed and Iris' personal assistant who is in trouble with small-time gangsters. Patrick (Peter Cousens) and Ellen (Melissa Madden Gray) are the best friends of Jed and Iris.
Universal Music Australia partnered with the production company, Princess Pictures, to release the soundtrack to The Divorce.
