How can My Mum Your Dad work in second season?

In the first season of My Mum, Your Dad the adult children of the singles hoping to find love had no idea they would be secretly watching their parents via surveillance cameras.

A casting notice recently called for new parents & children, although the show is yet to be formally announced. Now the twist is out, how will producers possibly approach a second season?

“That’s a good question and it’s being worked on at this very moment. It makes it a bit trickier. We’re working on how a second season might work at the moment,” Nine executive producer John Walsh recently told TV Tonight.

“We’re casting in anticipation of a recommission. We want to get a head start. We do that with all of our shows that we do.

“The whole ruse had to be kept separate from both parties, the parents and the kids. The kids dropped their parents off in a car, then drove to the kids bunker, which was literally five minutes drive away. When they arrived, they found out that they were actually staying and they were then shown the surveillance room. They in fact would not only be observing but manipulating their parents’ dating life.”

Walsh also confirmed another of the show’s production secrets, that not all of the footage viewed by the children was live as it was unfolding, but some had been filmed earlier.

“They are partly watching it live and then we do curate some material for them to watch, just because it happened out of hours and they weren’t there. They can’t be sitting in front of the screens 24 hours a day. For all intents and purposes, they’re watching and observing, so it’s a combination of both.”

The series concludes next week with a ‘Blessing’ Ceremony.

“The kids have to decide whether or not to give their blessing to a new coupling and whether they should try and make it go of it outside of the experience.”

7:30pm Tuesday and Monday on Nine.
