==Synopsis==
The series centres on four strangers in an immigration detention centre in the Australian desert: an airline hostess escaping a suburban cult, an Afghan refugee fleeing persecution, a young Australian father escaping a dead-end job and a bureaucrat caught up in a national scandal. When their lives intersect they are pushed to the brink of sanity, yet unlikely and profound emotional connections are made amongst the group.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://tvtonight.com.au/2019/05/all-star-cast-for-abc-drama-stateless.html|title=All-star cast for ABC drama Stateless|last=Knox|first=David|date=May 15, 2019|work=TV Tonight|access-date= 2019-05-15}}</ref>

==Production==
The series is partly inspired by the real-life story of [[Cornelia Rau]], an Australian who was unlawfully detained under the Australian Government's [[Immigration detention in Australia|mandatory detention program]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-01/cornelia-rau-and-the-story-behind-stateless/12001280 |title=Cornelia Rau, Australia's immigration wars and the true story behind TV drama Stateless |last=Keane|first=Daniel|date=March 1, 2020 |publisher=ABC News |access-date=2020-04-13}}</ref>
Blanchett says that the title "refers to statelessness in a more poetic sense, not in a [[statelessness|legal, physical sense]]. It's more about [[identity (social science)|identity]] and the loss of people's identity when they are faced with long-term detention, when they become a number, when they are dislocated from markers in their life like home and culture, and separated from their families".<ref name="Dray 2020">{{cite web | last=Dray | first=Kayleigh | title=The troubling true story that inspired Netflix's Stateless | website=Stylist | date=7 July 2020 | url=https://www.stylist.co.uk/life/netflix-stateless-plot-cast-true-story/405111 | access-date=16 January 2023}}</ref>
