Returning: The Ex-PM

Season 2 of The Ex-PM returns in late October, screening on Thursday nights, instead of the traditional comedy Wednesdays.

Key cast members are returning with Shaun Micallef, as ‘Andrew Dugdale’ tries to re-enter politics.

Sadly this is also the final screen credit for John Clarke, who passed away suddenly just days after filming was completed.

Comedy is back on Thursday nights with the return of the hit series The Ex-PM. Retired, third longest serving caretaker Australian Prime Minister, Andrew Dugdale (Shaun Micallef) is called back into the political fold to run in a sudden, ‘must win’ by-election. Also stars Nicki Wendt, Kate Jenkinson, Francis Greenslade, Nicholas Bell, Lucy Honigman, Ming-Zhu Hii, Jackson Tozer and the late, great John Clarke in his final television appearance.

8.30pm Thursday 26 October on ABC.
