ABC has announced its comedy, Fisk, will return for its second season in October.
The award-winning six-part comedy series premieres on Wednesday 26 October at 9 pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
In 2021, Fisk was Australia’s number one locally scripted show across all free-to-air networks – created, written and directed by – and starring – one of Australia’s favourite comedians, Kitty Flanagan as Helen Tudor-Fisk.
In addition to Flanagan, the entire key cast will reprise their roles, including Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold, Aaron Chen, John Gaden and Glenn Butcher.
They are joined this season by comedic stars including; Marg Downey, Denise Scott, Harley Breen, Stephen Curry, Geraldine Hickey, Zindzi Okenyo, Urvi Majumdar, Stephen Gates (from comedy band Tripod), Anthony Sharpe, Shane Bourne, Glenn Robbins, Bessie Holland, Rob Sitch, Deborah Kennedy, Matt Okine, Alex Papps, Broden Kelly (Aunty Donna), Colin Lane, Anne Edmonds and Tanika Anderson.
Season two finds it’s business as usual at the Gruber & Associates office. Helen’s (Flanagan) social skills haven’t improved but at least she’s nailing it as a suburban wills and estates lawyer.
So much so that Roz (Zemiro) and Ray (Sheargold) mistakenly entrust her with the presentation of their regular Q&A probate information night at the local library.
Meanwhile, Ray is shredding for a school reunion and George (Chen) finds himself overworked when Roz embarks on a new business venture.
On the client front Helen will take on a clown theatre company, a May/December couple with a new baby and a mother who sends her two squabbling sons a message from the grave.
But the probate stakes are really raised when a formidable woman comes forward to claim a vaguely worded $10 million bequest from the local crazy cat lady.
Last year, Fisk won the Best Series Award in the Comedies Competition at Europe’s largest TV festival, Series Mania 2021 in Lille, France.
