Rush wins third season on TEN

By David Knox on September 25, 2009 / Filed Under News 48

RUSHTEN has approved a third series for Rush.

The drama starring Rodger Corser, Callan Mulvey and Catherine McClements has had a strong second season in its new Thursday timeslot.

Producers John Edwards and Mimi Butler said: “From the get go TEN have loved the show and given it the best support possible. We’re thrilled to be going again.”

TEN drama executive Rick Maier said: “Rush has commanded attention from the start with its killer cast and strong commitment to quality. TEN is immensely proud of the show’s success both here and overseas.”

Earlier this week the network announced a new telemovie, Offspring, starring Asher Keddie, and it has two other telemovies which have completed shooting: Hawke and The Killing of Caroline Byrne.

    So glad to see it is coming back for a 3rd season. There are only 2 Australian shows I care to watch and Rush is one of them. Such quality it the acting and production. If only all Aust TV shows were this good.

    I’m in America, but used to live in Micronesia and fell in Lovewith this show (and many others) from OZ. My brother is a police officer on a Tactical Squad here in the States, and he loves the show too.
    So happy to hear it is getting a 3rd season! Hope it isn’t cut short for any reason (like stupid American networks will sometimes do). Cross my fingers for the full 22 epi’s and a great plotline.
    But nothankyew to the Kerry/Lawson love story. ;p
    They do have great chemistry- but as antagonist/protagonist. I could not see them ending up in bed together! JMHO. I think Lawson needs a girlfriend who is not a part of the work team. That way we get even more new, interesting characters from some of the other talented Aussie actors & actresses!
    Cheers from Up Over.

    I love Rush, best show on TV now.

    So hope Lawson and Kerry get together in SEason 3, they have so much chemistry.

    not so many of my friends like it .

    but i am so excited for season threee. (:

  27. Alpine November 26, 2009 at 11:48 pm -

    Rush is an awesome show.

    Only suggestion i have for improvement would be more research into actual police procedures.

  28. Nick September 26, 2009 at 2:11 pm -

    Best Australian show on tv.

    Rush always starts with a bang. My only criticism would be the show slows right down in the middle. You can watch 20 minutes in which next to nothing happens. The problem’s exacerbated by the long and many ad breaks.

  29. Paul September 26, 2009 at 9:35 am -

    Its good to hear another Australian show is doing well. It seems there’s more work for Australian actors and actresses then ever before.
    Good to hear

  30. NW September 26, 2009 at 12:47 am -

    Ryan, if you remember correctly, Rush premiered behind Masterchef in its final ratings-breaking week and that episodes numbers were no higher than the average for all of this seaosn has been, proving that Masterchef isnt the appropriate booster for this series.

  31. Billy C September 25, 2009 at 11:24 pm -

    Lars and the real Girl is not as far fetched as you think, there’s a documentary which I think was released first called Guys and Dolls. These people sadly actually exist. So while it was probably inspired by the movie and I also thought it was a bit lame it was at least a surprising twist.

  32. Tepee September 25, 2009 at 7:51 pm -

    This is first cop drama that I’ve ever actually liked so thumbs up to TEN. Hopefully its numbers aren’t affected by CSI soon.

  33. Nik C September 25, 2009 at 6:16 pm -

    That is excellent. Well Done Ten on committing to Aussie actors and drama :)

  34. Ryan September 25, 2009 at 5:55 pm -

    This makes me very happy!

    Wonder if Ten will stick with the 22 episode season; or maybe they’ll try pull an All Saints and make it yearly :P Though I do hope they keep it at the 22 episode limit. I wonder if aired when Ten has momentum e.g. Masterchef if it would pull even better figures.

  35. steven g September 25, 2009 at 4:09 pm -

    cool !

  36. Harry September 25, 2009 at 2:54 pm -

    Thank god for that as well. As long as I have Rush/NCIS Im happy!

  37. Faiky September 25, 2009 at 2:48 pm -

    fantastic news :) top show.

  38. Craig September 25, 2009 at 2:30 pm -

    Great news for the show.

  39. NW September 25, 2009 at 2:14 pm -

    @ Johnson
    It just needs a stable timeslot now

    It’s held it’s current timeslot all throughout Season 2, an extremely stable move in light of other series such as City Homicide which have been moved mid-season. It’s been a very modest sucess in terms of what Nine or Seven may be seeking, but no less, a success for TEN.

  40. KFed September 25, 2009 at 2:07 pm -

    Great show … but what was with the Lars and The Real Girl rip-off storyline last night? Lame.

  41. Ruth September 25, 2009 at 1:35 pm -

    I’m wrapped too. Love Rush and the great cast. WTG Ch 10 !!

  42. Elizabeth September 25, 2009 at 12:33 pm -

    Fantastic news!!! I love this show and am pleased to see a successful drama get a go ahead for a 3rd season!

  43. Melb September 25, 2009 at 12:25 pm -

    Excellent news!

  44. Bruce Banner September 25, 2009 at 12:18 pm -

    Great news, Rush is the best show on TV, hope it continues for many years to come.

  45. Johnson September 25, 2009 at 12:10 pm -

    Great news for the cast and crew of Rush. It just needs a stable timeslot now. Its next challange is to stave off new fasttracked episodes of CSI when they start in two weeks’ time.

  46. angelsgal September 25, 2009 at 11:58 am -

    Yay I love this show…..sooo excited.

  47. Brooke September 25, 2009 at 11:56 am -

    Is there any word on how many eps will be made for Season 3?

  48. Ducko September 25, 2009 at 11:56 am -

    Hardly surprising given its increase in ratings & the fact that Ten has no real drama alternatives. It’s one of Ten’s few successes (albeit modest) in the second part of the year.
