Here's an update from a reporter in Broken Hill where the Australian mini-series Code with Lucy (she plays a teacher) will be filming according to his tweet. Cockburn is a town on the border of South Australia and New South Wales near Broken Hill.
Lucy talked about the mini-series during her DragonCon weekend and also in an interview where she said:
LL: I’m doing a mini series in Australia, a political thriller called The Code. It’s about an indigenous kid in Australia who gets himself embroiled in a horrible nuclear conspiracy. The kid is going to wear all the blame for an accident that happens that’s not much to do with him. I play his teacher in the outback who’s trying to save his ass. They’re up against something way bigger than they can comprehend.
