What other BTS sneak peeks have we seen so far?
In August, star Collingwood player Mason Cox shared a piccie of The Herald Sun’s Friday edition on his Insta story, where he can be seen posing with Trude (Gina Riley), Prue (Jane Turner) and a football. What a combo.
“I can neither confirm nor deny,” she said, adding that “there might be a little something coming around the corner, coming down the pipe that will be fun.”
That’s right, peoples: the reunion will be split over two whopping nights. A
The reunion special has been formally dubbed A fitting name if you ask me.
Dress code: knickerbockers or Sass & Bidet jeans.
We’ll be getting a butcher’s hook at a whole spread of celebs across the two nights of the reunion. Of course, we’ll see the regulars — including that boob Marion () and those greash gurls Prue and Trude — but a whole bevvy of guests will be coming for the roide of their loives, too.
Run these ones up your flagpole, would ya?
Big stars like , , , and will be dropping in for a chardonnay and a chinwag.
Comedy icons , , , will also be popping by, while beloved Aussies , (Sharon’s on-again-off-again boyfriend Mark) and a former Prime Minister will make an appearance, too. Fingers and toes it’s not that bloody Howard.
Meanwhile, Sharon will be pleased to know that cricketing legends and will be poking their heads in at some point. Maybe she can show them how good her spin bowl has gotten.
The first instalment of the two-part reunion will be , which is filled with newly-filmed scenes as well as a smorgasbord of bloopers and never-before-seen moments from more than 1000 tapes of footage from the Fountain Lakes foxy ladies.
Part two is called and will feature a myriad of friends and stars opening up the history books to have a poke around the nooks and crannies of the extended universe.
Magda Szubanski (the IRL Sharon Strzelecki) revealed there’ll be never-before-seen footage of the late .
During an interview on , the actress said the series will feature rare scenes from the late cricketer who appeared in the OG series.
“The behind-the-scenes stuff with Shane is just going to break people’s hearts but it is also going to confirm what a dead-set legend he was,” she said.
“There is a lot of funny stuff.”
I just bloody know those scenes will make us bawl like Sharon when Warnie’s character didn’t show up for the wedding.
reported in July that , and reunited for a project that was filmed “in secret” in Melbourne.
The revealed at the time that the cast shot “10 minutes of new footage for the show, which will run as a ’20 to One’ style format of hits, memories and unseen clips from the vault.”
also published a report confirming that the trio, along with (Kel Knight) and (Brett Craig), filmed the spesh at a studio in South Melbourne.
“The project filming in Melbourne is a clip show. There is no deep storyline, no new episode,” an insider told the in July.
“The conveyor belt of black SUVs outside the NEP Studio are celebrities who are there to talk about their favourite moments.”
Channel 7 dropped the first little teaser trailer for the upcoming reunion in October and it’s got just about everything you’d want.
There’s Sharon (Magda Szubanski) in her purple polo and netball bib with unexplained facial injuries, Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner) and Kel Knight (Glen Robbins) under the patio of the Fountain Lakes house (pre-demolition!!) and Kim Craig (Gina Riley) with hubby Brett Craig (Peter Rowsthorn) revealing that Kimmoye’s somehow gotten them “stanky rich”.
We’re yet to see if Kel’s still a purveyor of fine meats (perhaps his butcher’s business has popped off) or just how much Epponnee-Rae has grown up — she’d have to be in high school by now, right?
The promo pics for the reunion show have the gang in some pretty snazzy outfits.
Sorry, but I will be stealing Brett’s sunglasses and gorgeous Michelin man puffer jacket. Now who’s the hunk o’ spunk?
Kim is giving glamour, she’s giving class, she’s giving effluence. And Kath’s jumper? It’s the very definition of noice, different and unusual while still barracking for her beloved Richmond Tigers.
We’ve also copped pics of the titular ladies armed with the Three C’s: Cheezels, coffee and cardonnay. The classy woman’s breakfast.
I didn’t think I could be any more excited for this reunion but the Cheezels have done it for me.
Now that’s very noice indeed.
Kath (AKA Jane Turner) told that — spoiler alert — Kim’s still living at home.
“Well Kim has never actually moved out for more than a week, so it’s not much of a reunion, as [a] here we go again peoples!”
Surprising no-one, Kim is a self-described “momager” to Epponee-Rae.
“I’m working on her having a moment and being a Thing,” she said.
, watch your back.
It was the first time in over 10 years — since the announcement of the ill-fated flick — that a cast member had confirmed they’ve reunited to bring us more foxy content.
Appearing on in early August,
While walking the Logies red carpet, the legends atdid us all a ‘yuge favour by asking Magda WTF is happening with the future of the series.
“I’d have to kill you and your publishers and everyone else [if I said anything],” she told the publication, adding that “it would be a blood bath” if she divulged any deets.
She very well could just be joshing us, but it’s a total pivot from her previous responses to the question.
Last year she told that she reckoned a reboot “should be off the table.”
And during with (, not Craig née Day), she said a reboot was “very, very unlikely.”
And suddenly her response is all “Nup! Soz! Can’t say anything!!!”
I’m telling ya, something’s going on here and Magda wants us to know it…
Reboot rumours first kicked off when crew members reportedly visited the famous Lagoon Court home to suss it out.
“It was unimaginable neighbours could keep TV’s biggest secret under wraps much longer,” an insider told .
The source added that the revival was already in pre-production and was expected to air on an undisclosed streaming service with an announcement due soon.
These rumours were ripped to smithereens when shortly after the report was published.
But between you, me and the credenza in the good room, I have a theory that they may have been taking some measurements and piccies of the house before it got knocked down so they could recreate it down the track in a local studio.
I can feel it in me waters!
