The Ascent

Two worlds. One game. Win love. Ascend.

In the future, love isn’t something you find, it’s something you compete for.

In a future where Australia has split in two, life in The Cage is brutal. High above lies Utopia, a perfect world where everyone has a home, healthcare… and love.

The only way into Utopia is The Ascent: the nation’s biggest dating show, where finding your perfect match is your only chance to ascend. As cameras roll and unlikely connections begin to form, this season’s game starts to unravel in ways no one could have predicted.

Fast, funny and unexpectedly heartfelt, The Ascent is Love Island meets The Hunger Games in this bold new Australian dystopian satire, brought to you by Claire Christian and QCGU Second Year actors, about love, identity and the stories we’re willing to believe.

Because if feeling hurts… is it worth feeling at all?
