Returning: The Letdown

Season 2 of ABC comedy The Letdown returns in late May with the complete series available to binge on iview following the first episode.

Reprising their roles as new parents are Sacha Horler (Sando), Lucy Durack (Sisters), Celeste Barber (of #challengeaccepted Instagram fame), Duncan Fellows (Secret City), Leah Vandenberg (The Wrong Girl), Leon Ford and Xana Tang.

Also returning are Sarah Peirse, Claire Lovering, John Leary, Gareth Davies, Fiona Choi and guest stars Brendan Cowell (Game of Thrones), Patrick Brammall (No Activity) and Logies Hall of Fame honouree Noni Hazlehurst.

They are joined this season by Bert LaBonte (Book of Mormon), Felix Williamson and Felicity Ward (Ronny Chieng: International Student).

Following a first season hailed by The Sydney Morning Herald as “the funniest, most truthful thing on TV right now” , and that drew raves from Vanity Fair and The New York Times, The Letdown season two picks up where we left off with Audrey (co-creator/writer Alison Bell in her twice AACTA Award nominated role) and the local parent’s group she thought she didn’t need. Their babies are now turning one and as they learn to walk, so too do their parents (metaphorically). At first, it’s all baby-steps, but ultimately, everyone will find their feet, with a new normal that brings more change, more chaos and more comedy.

Season two of The Letdown hails from creators/writers/producers Sarah Scheller and Alison Bell and is produced by Julian Morrow (The Chaser, The Checkout) and Linda Micsko (Maximum Choppage) for Giant Dwarf. Directing this series are Trent O’Donnell (The Good Place (NBC), No Activity (CBS All Access), New Girl (Fox), Amanda Brotchie (Picnic at Hanging Rock, A Place to Call Home), as well as Scheller and Bell, making their directorial debuts.

Wednesday 29 May at 9pm on ABC.
