Janet King is an Australian television drama program which began airing on ABC1 from 27 February 2014. It was created as a spin-off from the 2011 legal drama Crownies. It follows the story of Senior Crown Prosecutor Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp), tracking her journey in Series 1 in the Department of Public Prosecutions to a Royal Commission into Serious Firearm Crime in Series 2 to the National Crime Commission in Series 3.
Various cast members who appeared alongside Dusseldorp in Crownies also appeared in Janet King. A number of new characters were also created. The show was commissioned for an eight part series and filming began in 2013. A second series aired from March 2016, and a third began in May 2017.
Production
=Conception=
Shortly before the final episode of the ABC1 legal drama Crownies was broadcast in November 2011, David Knox from TV Tonight reported that the series could continue in the form of a spin-off.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/11/abc-considers-crownies-spin-off.html|title=ABC considers Crownies spin-off|last=Knox|first=David|date=25 November 2011|website=TV Tonight|access-date=11 February 2013}} The drama had suffered from modest ratings and mixed critical reviews during its 22-part run. ABC1 controller, Brendan Dahill explained "Crownies won't be coming back as Crownies. But we are talking to (producers) Screentime about a spin-off. There are lots of things I love about Crownies and lots of things that were done brilliantly, and I'm really proud of Crownies. I'm genuinely surprised it didn't engage a bigger audience than it did. Genuinely surprised. But I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are plenty of brilliant things in it and we're talking to Screentime at the moment."
Dahill stated that the spin-off would not be season two of Crownies and that it would take the characters in different directions. He told Knox that there were certain elements of Crownies that worked well and he did not want to lose them because of poor ratings. He continued "So what Screentime have come up with is a really great compromise that allows us to keep the best bits, and learn and move on." Knox added that a spin-off is rare in Australian television drama, but not unprecedented. On 20 August 2012, ABC TV confirmed that it had commissioned the Crownies spin-off, Janet King.{{cite web|url=http://blogs.abc.net.au/abc_tv/2012/08/abc-tvs-crownies-spin-off-to-be-a-political-thriller.html|title=ABC TV's Crownies Spin-off To Be A Political Thriller|author=Darren|date=20 August 2012|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|access-date=12 February 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130121112833/http://blogs.abc.net.au/abc_tv/2012/08/abc-tvs-crownies-spin-off-to-be-a-political-thriller.html|archive-date=21 January 2013}} The series was billed as an 8-part legal and political thriller.{{cite web|url=http://if.com.au/2012/08/20/article/Crownies-character-Janet-King-to-return-in-ABC-political-thriller/QJOLKIAGYD.html|title=Crownies character Janet King to return in ABC political thriller|last=Soegito|first=Anthony|date=20 August 2012|work=If Magazine|publisher=The Intermedia Group|access-date=12 February 2013}} Janet King was produced by Karl Zwicky, Jane Allen and Lisa Scott, with Hilary Bonney acting as story consultant. Greg Haddrick, Jane Allen, Kris Mrksa and Shaun Grant wrote the series.
Dahill said he was excited about Janet King and the fresh new direction it would take. Carole Sklan, ABC's Head of Fiction, commented "Screentime has developed an exciting drama series about the fabulous character, Janet King. The series looks at the dilemmas of a contemporary woman who returns to work after a year's maternity leave and is flung into a shocking prosecution that involves layers of intrigue played out at the highest levels of power. Janet King's case leads her through some astounding twists and revelations that impact on her life on every level." Screentime's Des Monaghan said that it had become clear to Screentime and the ABC that viewers had developed "a great deal" of affection for the character of Janet King and the cast of Crownies, so he was "delighted" that there would be a chance to build on that.
On 30 June 2015, it was announced that ABC had renewed Janet King for a second eight-part series.{{cite web|url=http://tvtonight.com.au/2015/06/renewed-abc-confirms-more-janet-king-dr-blake-jack-irish-rake-the-code.html|title=Renewed: ABC confirms more Janet King, Dr. Blake, Jack Irish, Rake & The Code|last=Knox|first=David|date=30 June 2015|website=TV Tonight|access-date=1 July 2015}} At the ASTRA Conference in September 2016, Dusseldorp confirmed four scripts for the third series had been written.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2016/09/janet-king-a-place-to-call-home-poised-for-renewals.html|title=Janet King, A Place to Call Home poised for renewals|last=Knox|first=David|date=8 September 2016|website=TV Tonight|access-date=7 September 2016}} The third series began airing from 25 May 2017, replacing Seven Types of Ambiguity.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2017/04/returning-janet-king-2.html|title=Returning: Janet King|last=Knox|first=David|date=22 April 2017|website=TV Tonight|access-date=28 May 2017}} It focuses on organised crime in the sporting world, with Janet heading up a National Crime Commission investigation.

Janet is visiting Todd's widow Elaheh and her family to give her an expensive bracelet he bought her when someone shoots through the window. |LineColor = FFD700 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 2 |Title = Here and Now |WrittenBy = Stuart Page |DirectedBy = Peter Andrikidis |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|03|31|df=y}} |ShortSummary = The Commission feel that the Nabekhts know more about the shooting than they are letting on. Susie, who is married to Elaheh's brother Amil, turns out to be the sister of Allman's friend Karen. Keisha contacts Richard for help and makes a statement about the money. Janet has personal trouble with Ash's sister Deborah, who has been unable to conceive and wishes to use an embryo of Ash's that was never used. CCTV footage shows that Todd stole something from Boccaro's car but when Janet and Owen talk to him he admits it. Ballistics show that the gun used in the attack on the Nabekht house was the same one used in Ash's murder.

However, when he receives notification of the shipment he makes no move to collect it. Heather and Lina realise Todd was killed with one of the homemade, one-use-only guns Hamilton had the plans of. They visit a council meeting and witness an altercation between Boccaro and Bao Long, who is opening a leisure centre-cum-casino. Heather visits Roger Embry of the State Corruption Commission to see if anyone tipped off the Nobakhts. Janet gets Richard to take Keisha to PTSD counselling, where she recalls hearing another witness to the murder. A judge awards Janet ownership of the embryo. Janet's iPad is stolen, with Heather's security codes used to enter the building. The corruption officers start investigating Janet, Bianca, Richard and Lina. Lincoln pressures Janet and Owen to deliver an interim report and Bianca has Andy poses as her ex so Felix will send the person who shot him to give her a gun. However, the person that turns up is Brett, who recognises Andy as a police officer and fires at him. |LineColor = FFD700 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 6 |Title = The Thaw |WrittenBy = Felicity Packard |DirectedBy = Grant Brown |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|04|28|df=y}} |ShortSummary = Bianca kills Brett, saving Andy but preventing them getting any information from him. More guns are found at Brett's house and DNA evidence shows he was one of the people that killed George but not the one that killed Ash. The Nobakhts are caught trying to take 30,000 US dollars to Iran and explain they are trying to buy Sam exemption from military service; Brett paid them to put their details on the shipping order and was the one who shot up their house. Lina tells Andy she is pregnant, while Richard spends the night with Keisha. Embry shows Janet evidence that she helped Richard get Keisha off a drug possession charge; Janet suspects that Deborah, who is appealing the ruling, tipped him off. Heather learns Hamilton had a liaison with Robbie Carter. Bianca gets Felix witness protection and he leaves behind an anagram indicating Brett was working for Bao Long. |LineColor = FFD700 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 7 |Title = The Heart of It |WrittenBy = Stuart Page and Greg Haddick |DirectedBy = Peter Andrikidis |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|05|05|df=y}} |ShortSummary = Janet interviews Hamilton and Robbie and realises Jane Carter killed Todd with a plastic gun that Hamilton gave Robbie, believing he was Hamilton.

The Commission interview Lang but fail to get a DNA sample. Janet and Bianca have sex. Deborah's appeal is rejected and she admits she spoke to the SCC. Peta gives Janet her iPad, from which photos of Ash have been deleted. Keisha asks Richard to go overseas with her; instead, he tells Janet that once the Commission is over he will be leaving the DPP to do his bar exams. Janet asks Owen to help her and Bianca with a trap, then announces she is suspending the Commission. |LineColor = FFD700 }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 8 |Title = The Long Goodbye |WrittenBy = Greg Haddrick and Felicity Packard |DirectedBy = Peter Andrikidis |Aux4 = 0.673{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/masterchef-grilled-by-news-programs/news-story/9cf46eb1d93526712b440ba08dbb7a54|title=MasterChef grilled by news programs|date=13 May 2016|work=news.com.au|access-date=16 May 2016|archive-date=21 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821101756/http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/masterchef-grilled-by-news-programs/news-story/9cf46eb1d93526712b440ba08dbb7a54|url-status=dead}} |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2016|05|12|df=y}} |ShortSummary = Janet and Owen use a micro-camera to get footage of Boccaro selling the handguns to a biker gang. Tony convinces Embry to drop the SCC investigation and Boccaro is arrested. Lincoln is forced to resign when it is revealed Boccaro paid him millions of dollars, ostensibly for a tea set but more likely a bribe for the land deal. Boccaro indicates that he loaned the gun to Ashley's killer, who is now going to kill Janet. Janet and Bianca learn the killer was someone genetically male but outwardly female and suspect Heather, whose nephew Janet sent to jail on an apparently false rape charge. Richard represents Heather at her bail hearing. DNA morphology reveals the culprit to be Peta, whose husband committed suicide after Janet refused to prosecute a historic child abuse charge. Peta traps Janet's children at the bottom of a lift shaft but Bianca stops her sending the lift down by shooting her in the leg. Janet visits a pregnant Deborah in hospital, implying she gave her the embryo after all. |LineColor = FFD700 }} |

Both Janet and Richard go looking for Pearl, who has run away from home and is staying with Flynn from Continuum. Wayne discovers Eddie Cooke and Shannon Hinksman are selling steroids.

Janet gets the bottle from Pearl and it is found to be THX-5, a blood thinner not authorised for human consumption, which has dangerous side effects for a minority of people like Tyler and Cindi. Richard helps Lucy sort out her finances and they sleep together, before Janet gives him the evidence that could free Nate.

Janet does however discover Flynn was the one who stole the morphine tablets given to Clay. Nate is released on appeal. Richard confides in Lina about his guilt over not helping Pearl. Graham, who is being investigated for fraud, gives evidence to the commission and is then beaten by masked men in front of Janet.

Surveillance identifies Shannon and Clay's visitor, Wes Foster, as being involved; Foster is arrested but refuses to say anything.

She and Tony help him prepare for his case but an attempt to talk through their history ends unsatisfactorily. Richard attends one of Darren's parties on a pretext, where Nate blames him for the breakdown of his marriage. Owen instructs Lina not to oppose Foster's bail but keeps quiet about Richard's connection to the NCC, asking Darren for advice on betting. Andy replaces Wayne at the NCC and carries out blatant surveillance of Foster but Foster gives him the slip.

Foster is arrested after his DNA is found at the scene. Richard learns Darren's next target is Glen Farmer, a young tennis player who will be bribed to throw a set. Janet convinces him to talk Glen into it when Shannon fails and the police arrest the drug dealers Darren is working with, forcing him to rely on his laundered money to make bets so the NCC can track it. Janet gets Pearl into a sports scholarship but Bianca breaks up with her, realising she'll never be her priority. Darren and Shannon are arrested after an attempt to abduct Richard but Owen has ASIO agents shut down the NCC interrogation; Darren is needed to monitor international terrorist organisations radicalising Australian youths, with NCC only allowed to confiscate the profits from the betting scams and money laundering. Zoe dies of heart failure, probably caused by damage from taking performance-enhancing drugs. Janet has Foster make a statement about all the crimes Darren was involved in, predicting that one day his usefulness to ASIO will be over and he can be charged. |LineColor = B30E1C }} |
Reception
Ben Neutze from Crikey said that Janet was an "audience favourite" from Crownies. He also noted that Dusseldorp's acting profile had been raised following her appearance in A Place to Call Home. He predicted that the combination would secure success for the show and ABC.{{cite web|last=Neutze|first=Ben|title=Australian TV in 2014: 10 new shows to look out for|url=http://dailyreview.crikey.com.au/australian-tv-in-2014-10-new-shows-to-look-out-for/|work=Crikey|publisher=(Private Media Pty Ltd)|access-date=15 February 2014|date=16 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222074617/http://dailyreview.crikey.com.au/australian-tv-in-2014-10-new-shows-to-look-out-for/|archive-date=22 February 2014|url-status=dead}} Ben Pobjie, writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, praised the series for trying "to keep things varied and interesting.
