ABC Upfronts
One of Australia’s most loved sitcoms will be rebooted as part of the ABCs offerings for 2023. ‘Mother and Son’, which ran for 6 series from 1984 to 1994 and followed the sweet, frustrating and hilarious action of caring for an ageing mother, is to be reimagined with Matt Okine and Denise Scott.
Okine and Scott do a great job of outlining the new show in this video.You can also read more about plans for the show here.
No locations have been announced yet, however the show is supported by Screen NSW it seems likely it will be filmed in Sydney, like the original. More to come on this one…
Other 2023 ABC programs include the previously announced ‘The Messenger‘, ‘House of Gods’ and season 2 of ‘The Newsreader’. You can read more about what’s coming in the year ahead here.
