Discover Anna Torv: The Star of Netflix’s Territory Series

Currently, Netflix’s “Territory”is being compared to “Yellowstone,”as it ventures into the Australian outback. The narrative unfolds on the world’s largest cattle ranch, which faces a significant power vacuum after the heir’s disappearance. The series showcases a heated battle for land ownership involving ranchers, criminals, and other stakeholders, with Emily Lawson—whose family runs the ranch—caught in the midst of this struggle.

Emily Lawson is portrayed by the talented Australian actress Anna Torv. Torv gained fame for her work as FBI agent Olivia Dunham in the Fox series “Fringe,”and as the psychologist Wendy Carr in the Netflix crime anthology “Mindhunter.”
