The ABC has announced that filming has commenced on the second 6-part season of Fisk – ABC TV’s number one series of 2021. The award-winning comedy series is created, written and directed by – and starring – comedian Kitty Flanagan.
Along with Flanagan starring as Helen Tudor-Fisk, reprising their roles are Julia Zemiro and Marty Sheargold as solicitor siblings Roz & Ray Gruber, and Aaron Chen as probate clerk/webmaster, George. They’re set to be joined by a cavalcade of performers in guest roles as viewers return to the offices of suburban wills and probate law firm, Gruber and Associates.
With Roz stepping aside to start her own mediation business (within the Gruber offices) Helen is determined to take on a more senior role at Gruber & Associates. However, Helen’s grand vision to become partner looks set to come unstuck when she’s featured in a current affair show hit piece, and she has to repair her damaged reputation.
Internationally, Fisk won Series Mania 2021 – Best Series – Comedy Competition as well as taking home two AACTA Awards for Best Narrative Comedy Series and Best Comedy Performer for Kitty Flanagan. It also won the Screen Producers Award for Best Comedy Series, and is nominated for the 2022 TV Week Logies for Most Popular Comedy Series and Most Popular Actress (Kitty Flanagan).
Kitty Flanagan says “I’m so excited to be putting back on the brown suit again as we get ready to shoot Fisk season 2. The Grubers are back, Roz’s hair is back and of course everyone’s favourite webmaster is back too! Here’s hoping I remember how to do acting!”
ABC head of comedy, Todd Abbott says “Fisk was the Australian TV sensation of 2021, which was no surprise given the sensational team of talented humans who bring it to life. Like more than two million other viewers, I cannot wait to devour another season of this joyous, sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy.”
Fisk season 2 will air later in 2022 on ABC TV and ABC iview. Fisk season 1 is currently streaming on ABC iview.
