Production

Filming began in and around the Auckland region, including Waitakere, in 2020, but was paused after six weeks when lockdowns for the COVID-19 pandemic began. Filming resumed with the implementation of masks, social distancing, and other precautions, and was completed in September 2020.[3]

Reception

Writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, Kylie Northover called Creamerie "masterful, with deadpan humour and a terrific cast."[4]
