Three sisters die in a sudden and catastrophic carriage accident. Frustrated that they've been robbed of their full lives, they petition for a second chance--only to find themselves returning 150 years after their death, their old home now a boarding school. Not only must they become accustomed to modern life, but they mustn't let anyone know that they're 'living' ghosts.
Dead Gorgeous was created by British-born script-writer Barbara Slade, who already had a long work history with children's programming in both the U.K. and the U.S.A. Originally commissioned by Nickelodeon UK (who chose not to pick up the series after viewing the pilot), the series was ultimately made with the involvement of several broadcasters and production companies in both the U.K. and in Australia.
The series was filmed in Australia, and both directors were Australian. However, the majority of the script-writers (who, between them, produced the majority of scripts) were British: Australian script-writers Sam Carroll, Peter Templeman, and Sarah Rosetti contributed scripts to the program.
