Prank of the Year is a low-stakes True Crime story from Aotearoa, New Zealand.

In 1993 one of New Zealand's biggest companies was tricked into making a public mockery of themselves. Thirty years later, two amateur sleuths try to solve the long-forgotten mystery of what happened, who did it, and why.

Prank of the Year is a six-part series, with episodes released weekly from Friday 17 November.
