Notorious bank robber fails to gain release in time for his big Foxtel premiere

Streaming platforms make the most of the deep sleep free-to-air TV goes into over the summer period.

Foxtel’s Binge has been luring new subscribers with introductory monthly fees as low as $4. In addition to discounting this summer, Foxtel is betting big on Australia’s most notorious criminal – bank robber Brenden Abbott.

One of Binge’s major content plays in the next few weeks is a two-part documentary about Abbott, plus a six-part drama, Run, tracking his crime spree and his two successful jailbreaks.
