Nick Verso on Invisible Boys, Queer Storytelling & Why Authenticity Matters

Brett, Tim & Nige are joined by award-winning director Nicholas Verso to discuss his powerful new series Invisible Boys, premiering on Stan. Set in remote Geraldton, the show follows three gay teens navigating identity, secrecy, and solidarity during the marriage equality plebiscite. Nick opens up about adapting the beloved novel, assembling an all-gay writers’ room, casting queer youth with care, and weaving in themes of mental health and cultural diversity. Plus, he shares why queer stories remain vital—especially in today’s shifting political landscape.
