The series “Byron Bais” is scheduled to take place in popular seaside resorts, but many residents fear negative impacts to their hometown on Australia’s east coast.

“You will have a hard time finding a person to support the streaming service plan,” Mayor Simon Richardson told public broadcaster ABC. The area already attracts 2.5 million visitors in the first year and does not require any additional tourists who will be fascinated by the “dull sight”.

Love that is not returned

Streaming service Netflix previously announced that it would portray Instagram influencers in “Byron Bais”. The series promises “fights, affairs and heartbreak” and is a “love letter” to the coastal community.
