Serien växte fram från ett inslag i underhållningsprogrammet Jono And Ben, där det ursprungligen fungerade som en parodi på sensationsjournalistik och modern mediakritik. Det populära segmentet utvecklades sedan till ett eget format och videoklippen från programmet spreds brett på nätet och nådde hundratusentals visningar. I New Zealand Today besöker Williams olika regioner runt om i landet för att undersöka märkliga och ovanliga händelser samt fenomen i det regionala Nya Zeeland.
Serien presenterar en blandning av humor och faktabaserat innehåll, där Williams utforskar verkliga berättelser och möter lokala personer. Formatet kombinerar journalistiska element med komiska inslag, vilket skapar en unik underhållningsupplevelse. Genom att fokusera på regionala nyheter och lokala kuriositeter erbjuder serien en annorlunda perspektiv på nyzeeländsk kultur och samhälle.
New Zealand Today är tillgänglig på Netflix.
