Sisters is an Australian television drama series, created by Jonathan Gavin and Imogen Banks, and produced by Imogen Banks and Nicole O'Donahue, that screened locally on Network Ten in October 2017 and launched as a Netflix Original Series on September 1, 2018.

Synopsis

Sisters follows the story of Julia Bechly as her life is turned upside-down when her father, in vitro fertilisation pioneer Dr Julius Bechly, publishes a deathbed confession that during his award-winning 30 year career as a fertility specialist, he used his own sperm and is potentially the father of hundreds of children. Julia decides to make the most of the situation and throws a family gathering where she finds out she has hundreds of brothers, but only two sisters: troubled children's television star Roxy Karibas and belligerent lawyer Edie Flanagan.[1]

Julia Bechly is living her usual life caring for her terminally ill father Julius, until a news story reports that Julius used his own sperm during the time he was a fertility specialist. She asks her father if it's true, and he confirms it. Although panicked, Julia decides to throw a “family gathering” to meet all her biological siblings; she discovers she has many, many brothers but only two sisters: troubled children’s television star Roxy Karibas and belligerent lawyer Edie Flanagan.
