Kath & Kim to return for 20th anniversary reboot
It’s time to crack open the Tia Maria and whack on the footy franks because the foxy ladies of Fountain Lakes are back!
The cast of Aussie TV show Kath & Kim have once again joined forces to record a special project for the show’s 20th anniversary.
Creators Gina Riley and Jane Turner along with stars Magda Szubanski, Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn arrived at the NEP Studios in South Melbourne for filming.
The special one-off is expected to see the famous characters of Kath Day-Knight (Turner), her daughter Kimberly Day Craig (Riley), Kath’s butcher husband Kel (Robbins) and Kim’s husband Brett (Rowsthorn), and second-best friend Sharon Strzelecki (Szubanski) return.
And of course, Kath & Kim’s Brighton alter egos, Prue and Trude will make an appearance.
The reboot is expected to air later in the year with ABC, Seven and Netflix strong contenders for the broadcast.
The first episode of Kath & Kim aired in May 2002 which then saw a legion of fans follow the foxy ladies.
Fans were recently in uproar after the home used in the show, dubbed “Chateau Kath" was demolished after the owner wanted to create a bigger home for her family.
Pete Rowsthorn, who played Brett in the series, said the house contained a lot of memories but it's time to move on.
“It was a weird house, if I bought it I'd probably pull it down too," he previously said.
"It had really quite small rooms … the squeaky back door, that was all natural sound. There was no foley man putting that on top.
"I played cricket in the backyard with Shane Warne, I danced in the garage with Kylie Minogue, I sat and had dinner with Barry Humphries dressed up as a monk.”
