Nine announces new 'Underbelly' series

The latest instalment of the Australian crime drama, which is scheduled to air later this year, will tell the true story of vice queen Kate Leigh and brothel owner Tilly Devine, who lived in Sydney in the 1920s.
According to Adelaide Now, Rake actress Danielle Cormack will be playing Leigh in Underbelly: Razor, while former All Saints star Jack Campbell has accepted the role of Devine's husband Jim.
The first three series of Underbelly were popular with viewers, but Nine apparently saw a large ratings drop for its three recent telemovie versions of the show.
Despite rumours that Oscar-nominated actress Jacki Weaver would be taking part in the fourth series of the show, executive producer Des Monaghan recently insisted that they "can't afford her".
