TVNZ 1 is trialling something different for their new drama.

Their new show, The Bad Seed, is not only adapting two books by Kiwi author Charlotte Grimshaw - they are also airing all five episodes across one entire week.

It tells the story of the Lampton family after one of their neighbours is killed in a home invasion. 

Stars Dean O'Gorman and Matt Minto joined Mike Yardley to discuss their roles and the exciting new era for local television.
