Series description

The Tribe began with a core cast of around 16 young actors from all across New Zealand. Many were joining the show as a main cast member for the first time, a lot of them having generally just had guest spots on shows such as Xena Warrior Princess, Hercules: the Legendary Journeys and native soap Shortland Street prior to The Tribe. Some have even made appearances on a number of Power Rangers series from Power Rangers Ninja Storm on [including James Napier, Beth Allen, Dwayne Cameron, Antonia Prebble, Tom Hern.] Xena. ...

With its premise of all adults having died because of a virus, The Tribe was classified as a science-fiction program. However particularly in the earlier series, the show focused heavily on more dramatic storylines, with sci-fi elements used primarily as a backdrop to further the plot. The focus was on how the kids and teenagers would survive without adults, without laws, without safety, without regular meals, but with most of the same problems that had been present before: drug and alcohol addiction, teen pregnancy, rape, violence, troubled relationships and responsibility.


With the complete fall of civilization as they knew it, the kids banded together in tribes. Tribes all have their own separate names, dress codes, beliefs and attitudes. Some tribes are power-hungry and malevolent, others are simply trying to get by.


The Mallrats are the main tribe focused on in the series. Their struggles and triumphs are shown on the mundane scale (chores, in-fighting, back-stabbing, marriages, friendships) and on the epic scale (finding the antidote to the virus, bringing peace to the city, defeating power-hungry tribes trying to establish dictatorships such as the Chosen and the Technos).


The Making of The Tribe

The Tribe has been said to have had one of the highest budgets for a teenage show at the time. The set of The Phoenix Mall was the largest in the southern hemisphere as the time of its construction. It was built just as it appeared on screen - with all rooms, corridors and levels joined as a real mall would be. Set decoration was meticulous, not only within the different areas of the Mall, but also on location.


Much of New Zealand's expansive, untouched landscape was made use of in the filming of scenes out in the country, for example in the town of Liberty, on Alice's farm, during the Tribal Gathering on the beach and on the Mallrat's trek through the mountains to the Eagle Mountain Observatory. To achieve the abandoned, lonely feeling that has overtaken the city, many Wellington streets were closed off and filmed in the early hours of the morning, with the streets being covered in burnt out cars, graffiti, burning barrels and trash cans.


The Tribe's costume design and make-up are wholly unique to the show, and indeed, the show is often identified by its ambitious costumes and hairstyles. While the costumes of series 1 were generally muted and low-key, series 2 had frequent costume changes and bright colours. This trend would continue for the remainder of the show.


Episodes

It is primarily aimed at the 11 to 17 age group, though it has fans of all ages. Five series of The Tribe have been created, with 52 episodes per series, amounting to 260 episodes in the entire run. This article is the series / episode guide of the TV series, The Tribe. ...


International broadcast

The Tribe has been shown in over 40 countries around the world and has a built up a large fan base. Below is a short list.

Post-cancellation

Series 6

Before The Tribe was cancelled, Series 6 was scheduled to begin filming in 2003. However, when the U.K. channel Five declined support for the series because of the raised adult content, the show was cancelled. Five, launched in 1997, is the fifth and final national terrestrial analogue television channel to launch in the United Kingdom. ...


The scripts for the first 2 episodes in Series 6 were included exclusively on the Series 5 DVD boxset. The episodes followed the story of the Mallrats as they arrived on an island the other side of the boat trip.


The Official Tribeworld Website reports that many of the cast now have varied jobs and lives, so it seems unlikely that a sixth series will ever be filmed and aired. However, the creators have mentioned plans to continue the tribe through other media if possible. A cartoon and movie were both mentioned by the creator in an interview online, however, nothing has since been mentioned regarding this.


Also, 2007 was marked as the year of the "tribe revival" by the official wesbite. However, since then nothing more has been mentioned.


The cast

After the series ended, the casts careers launched greatly.

  • Caleb Ross went on to become a foley artist for The Tribe's spin-off, The New Tomorrow.(Which never came back on again)
  • Tom Hern, who played Ram, went on to play Jess, the main character on another of Cloud 9's shows, a drama called Revelations.
  • James Napier (Jay) went on to play Conner McKnight, the Red Ranger, in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder and Power Rangers: S.P.D.. Beth Allen (Amber), Tom Hern (Ram), Antonia Prebble (Trudy) and Dwayne Cameron (Bray) have also guest starred in these, or other Power Rangers shows.
  • Michael Wesley-Smith (Jack) was also cast as the lead, Giles, on yet another of Cloud 9's shows, a teen comedy, Atlantis High. Victoria Spence (Salene) also played Antonia/Anthony in the show. Also, Smith recently passed the bar as a lawyer.
  • Joseph Crawford (Darryl) now works as an editor & director of a new video production company Crawford Pictures as well as continuing to act.

The New Tomorrow

The series also inspired a spin-off called The New Tomorrow. This spin-off is set at an undisclosed period of time after the events of The Tribe Series 5. Unlike The Tribe, The New Tomorrow is aimed at a younger audience and its cast is made up of pre-teens. The spin-off had none of the original Tribe characters but there were mentions of The Mall, Bray and Zoot. The New Tomorrow is a New Zealand-based television series produced by Cloud 9 and is a sequel to the cult television series The Tribe. ...


The Tribe Game?

The official Tribe website told fans about plans to release a sims-style game of "The Tribe". However, this idea has not yet been put in place and was mentioned quite a few years ago. Recently, Tribemaster told fans that they will like what's coming soon if they enjoy games and technology. It has been speculated that a Tribe game will be a part of the 2007 Tribal Revival. Nothing has been confirmed.


DVD releases

During the show's run, there was a long struggle to find a distributor for the entire series. Series 1 was first released in 2003 by Sanctuary Entertainment, two years later Revelation Films purchased rights to the show, and released Series 1-5 throughout 2006.


All five DVDs contain 7 discs, with a total of 52 episodes.

Trivia

  • Damon Andrews, as well as playing the Guardian, also directed several episodes of the show.
  • Caleb Ross (Lex), has starred in the most episodes, 259 out of 260. The episode he is absent from is the flashback episode in Series 2 which detailed Bray, Trudy, Ebony and Zoot's past together before the virus.
  • Daniel James became assistant art director for The Tribe, as well as guest starring occasionally as Zoot. He also worked behind the scenes on Revelations, another Cloud 9 series.
  • Unlike many other teen shows, every member of the Series 1 cast of The Tribe was exactly or approximately the same age as the character he or she played.
  • Executive producer and co-creator of The Tribe, Raymond Thompson, had the idea for the show as far back as 1980, but it only became a reality in 1997 when he and co-creator Harry Duffin began to flesh out characters and storylines.
  • Matt Robinson (Slade) moved to New Zealand from Britain when he was cast in Series 5.
  • The Horton Bailey Hotel, the Loco base for quite some time, was simply the front of the Cloud 9 Studios, redressed. Also, the pool at the back of the hotel is also the pool at the studios.
  • On screen sisters Java, Siva and Ebony are played by real life sisters Megan Alatini, Monique Cassie and Meryl Cassie respectively.
  • Antonia Prebble (Trudy) and Michelle Ang (Tai-San) now star as Loretta West and Tracey Wong respectively in the black comedy Outrageous Fortune.
  • Dan Hennah was production designer on The Tribe and his wife Chris was art/design manager.
