Hugo Weaving and Shabana Azeez headline the new SBS drama The Airport Chaplain, a timely, heartwarming story set in the bustling, often overlooked world of airports. Azeez, known for The Pitt, embraces the challenge of playing Mira — a role that lets her spotlight underrepresented women and women of color in leadership, while celebrating Australia’s evolving global creative identity. Filmed on location, the experience gave her deep empathy for airport workers, and she reflects on her own winding path to acting — from childhood dreams of being a checkout operator to serendipitous breaks that led to unexpected roles. With big names like Claudia Karvan and emerging directors, this show is a powerful step toward inclusive storytelling and a fresh Aussie voice on the world stage.
