Filming starts on Rake series 5

So proud to be involved in another season of this great Australian drama. The first of our featured and background actors headed to set today for the first day of filming on Season 5. Production is expected to continue for several months and we would normally be sending new people on set each week.

Cleaver returns as an independent senator in Parliament House. Embroiled in scandal after scandal, Cleaver will add yet more chaos to his life and the lives of those around him. With parliament crumbling, will Cleaver step up to help Australia keep calm and carry on?

Peter Duncan (Writer) says, “As a committed if somewhat lazy group of anarchists, we wanted to see if Cleaver could bring as much chaos to Parliament as he did to the courts. So far, we think our mission is on track.  It’s great that we have an opportunity to expand Cleaver’s messy palette and give Richard a chance to get his hands truly dirty.”

Sally Riley (Executive Producer) says, “I’m looking forward to living vicariously through Cleaver Green as he runs rampant in the Australian Parliament and I’m sure ABC audiences will love it too. He’s a truly loved character that says and does all the things you sometimes wish you could. So happy to have him back on our screens in 2018”.
