The HMAS Hammersley looks set to sail again with word that Nine has approved a fourth series of Sea Patrol.
TV Tonight hears that a fourth season of the show has been approved and awaiting an official announcement by the network.
The third series of the McElroy All Media production has only been on air a few weeks, but shown strong audiences of 1.3m-1.4m.
Nine’s drama slate is certainly looking healthy right now. This week the network officially announced Underbelly 3: The Golden Mile.
It also has Rescue: Special Ops in production.
Great show, love the crew, watch it every day in Canada and hope it continues. Would like to buy all seasons if it is programmed to be played in Canada.
Love the show and would like to buy all seasons. Worth replaying. Hope it can
be made to play in Canada
Unfortunately this is a TV blog not a DVD blog, and I don’t know of any good DVD blogs….
when can I buy it on DVD plese tell me ??
Is Jay Ryan ( Spider ) going to be in the 4th season. i watch it in the UK and it is Brill. its my favourite show.. I <3 Spider hehe
after watching this series in the uk , all I can say is you have a good choice for a fourth series , as all my friends find it great viewing
I Hope they add a new female main cast member. Simmone Jade Mckinnon would be my pick. i read in an interview she is wanting something concret. She also said she filmed an extended guest role on the new Rescue Special Ops.
waste of money and waste of australian actors in this horrible expensive waste of money, how could they sign up another series, what a joke!
i am very surprised, i was sure this would be the last season.
All well and good. I really can’t be expected to know where everything was first published on the internet. Info was independently confirmed (I’m sure you have seen previous SP articles here). In any case I’m sure you have given them the plug. Again, it wasn’t my source sorry.
Forgot to add, that the McElroys have confirmed it will be 16 episodes next season and not in mini-series format.
I understand that David and respect that, I’m just saying that this piece of information originated from the SP fan site before it was distributed to the multiple news sites around. Usually in the past I wouldn’t speak out about it, but in this situation I’m making the exception because it was where it originated, since it came from the producers themselves.
Nadine, sources are commonly linked at the end of stories if and when they are taken from other sites (I’m sure you know plenty of sites don’t even bother to do this). On this occasion I didn’t visit the SP Fan Site and I didn’t get the info from there. There are plenty of fan sites I don’t visit with regularity.
I’d sooner watch The Strip or McLeods daughters than this.
The information posted above was originally posted over at the SP Fan Site. So it would have been nice for the source to have been credited…
One of Nine’s few good shows. SP has been improving a lot since it began so I’m pleased it has another season in the works.
Personally I dont like the show that much but am glad to see more Aussie Dramas on TV. Our Aussie Dramas are all brilliant.
Why wouldn’t they renew it? Anything over 1 mil good, and its been sold overseas so its making 9 good money. And that’s what its all about at 9.
This is awesome news, it’s a brilliant show.
For the most expensive aussie drama on our screens, with a shocking demo performance (it skews even older than All Saints), this is surprising.
Great, I really like this show.
Rescue: Special Ops will die.
Australians can smell a copycat show a mile away.
Unfort. even if this show is really good, it won’t be able to overcome to “yawn” / “copycat” / “me too” factor – which people will see a million miles away.
Fantastic! Great to see Aussie drama doing so well!
Who didn’t see this coming?
I’m just amazed they don’t have a 22 ep season yet.
The problem with this and UB is they have very little re-run appeal and even on DVD don’t seem to be doing as well as UB season 1, maybe it was the Victorians buying up all the DVDs leading to a shortage?
