Demographer Bernard Salt (pictured) returns to provide insight into the behavioural and response of each family. Joining him will be will be Andrew May, speaker/author/coach, who specialises in helping overworked executives and athletes reach peak performance.

Denise Eriksen, SBS’ manager, production and development, says: “Series One of The Nest was ground-breaking television and a great success for SBS. I am extremely pleased we are now in production on series two which, this time round, takes a look at work/life balance – one of the toughest personal issues for all Australians.

“The Nest is a wonderful device for giving us the opportunity to examine different aspects of Australian domestic life through the prism of a constructed, observational documentary series. It is fantastic television and it is unique on Australian TV.”
