Australian comedy-drama Five Bedrooms is making its return to Network 10.
Season two, which previously aired exclusively on Paramount + will air on 10 and 10 Play On Demand on Wednesday, 25 May at 8.30pm.
The drama-comedy series tells the story of a group of very different people, from very different backgrounds, at very different stages of life, all living under the one roof.
The arrangement that began as a risky short-term solution is now an empirical success, a genuine long-term prospect, and maybe even a preferable version of family and life?
Making up the season two cast is the fallen socialite, Liz (Kat Stewart), laconic tradie, Ben (Stephen Peacocke), firecracker middle-aged mum, Heather (Doris Younane), cautious doctor, Harry (Roy Joseph) and tragic romantic, Ainsley (Katie Robertson).
This group of five misfits first found each other at an all-too-familiar setting, the dreaded singles’ table at a wedding, where liquid courage gave them the ballsy bravado to pitch in and buy a house together. A communal approach to Australia’s property crisis, they split the impossible cost of homeownership five ways.
Ahead of filming season two in 2020, actor Kat Stewart, who plays Liz, said: “Season one of Five Bedrooms was a creative and personal joy for me from beginning to end. I am so thrilled to be back on set with this superb ensemble and knock-out creative team led by the brilliant minds of writers Michael Lucas and Christine Bartlett.”
Season two of Five Bedrooms dives hard into themes that resonate globally. There’s a new home, a DIY renovation, a DIY renovation injury, two pregnancies, an ex-husband, a workplace bullying complaint, an unexpected tragedy, love found and love lost.
Season two of Five Bedrooms premieres Wednesday, 25 May At 8.30pm On 10 And 10 Play On Demand.
