The ABC has backtracked from plans to give ABC3 the World Premiere of Dead Gorgeous, its new Australian-produced children’s drama.

The spooky series about 3 girls who died in 1861 but return to their estate as ghosts 150 years later will instead launch on ABC1.

Produced by Burberry Productions, the series features Melissa Howard (Rebecca), Poppy Lee Friar (Sophie), Alexandra Coppinger (Hazel), Blake Davis (Jonathan), Chris Milligan (David), Jay Kennedy Harris (Charlie), Aisha Dee (Christine), Gerry Connolly (Mr Griffith), Julie Forsyth (Haiwyn Sinclaire) and Julie Eckersley (Agatha Heggleby).

It begins 5:20pm Monday April 5th on ABC1 and is replayed from 8pm April 13 on ABC3.

Dead Gorgeous follows the comical adventures of three beautiful, strong-willed teenage sisters Rebecca (Melissa Howard), Sophie (Poppy Lee Friar) and Hazel Ainsworth (Alexandra Coppinger) who just happen to be ghosts!

When the three sisters died in a tragic coach accident in 1861, alongside their beloved nanny Mildred, they thought it was obviously some sort of cosmic ‘glitch’.

Taking matters into her own hands, Rebecca makes an application to the Ghost Council, the high court of the afterlife, requesting them to return her and her sisters back to the world of the living. But the afterlife is much like real life, bureaucracy is slow and forms get lost or misfiled. For the sisters, the wait was 150 years, stuck in limbo.

Upon their return to the estate, the girls quickly realise their home has been turned into a school. They now find themselves in a world unbeknown to them, and under the watchful eye of their colourful, ghostly guardian – Agatha (Julie Eckersley). The sisters can stay under one circumstance – no one is to find out their secret otherwise they will be sent back to the afterlife.

  1. They’re british because they were there in the 1800s and back then, I guess, everyone talked like that in Australia because the britons came to Australia. I might be wrong. Wow, your second name is Ainsworth. That’s awesome!

  4. Dead Gorgeous has a dead gorgeous cast. David is the typical pretty boy but without a brain. Jonathan is the best friend with a secret crush. Rebecca is the stuck up but kind protagonist with her sisters, cute Hazel and sweet Sophie.

    I love every episode. I especially love The Baharee and Love’s First Kiss because they were the most romantic episodes.

    I realised that each one of the Ainsworth sisters have had their share of tears in an episode. Someone is always crying but that is what gives this children’s dramedy the human touch.

  5. i a mso obsesd with thes seris. i love everthing abut it. especialy love watch how rebecca tries to get david to fall in love with her. too funny. hazel is bubbly and sophie is quiet and polite. jonathan is in love with is best friend. i think that is the story.

  6. Rebecca is 21? OMG! She looks so young! She’s very pretty too. I’m getting it on DVD as well.

  7. I love this show i am goung to get it on dvd and whach it every day and i love hazel shes gorgeous and rebecer is 2 even though she is 21 well i guess thats why they call it dead Gorgeous. Yesvi am obsessed

  11. This show deserves a bigger production budget. I know it just started but I think it’s so underrated. Way better than shows like The Latest Buzz and The Wannabes.

  14. I love this show and looked forward to it every single day and im killing for a secpnd series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. there better be is right. I haven’t liked an abc show like this since a long time lol. Better make a series 2 or I’ll be very 🙁

  16. there better be a second serious. i havn’t liked a abc show this much in ages. 😀

  17. I have to say I’ve seen a lot of Australian shows these days and almost all of them are really bad. Let’s hope Dead Gorgeous sets the benchmark for future shows. I quite like it.

  21. Does anyone know where I can download the theme song? Can’t find it anywhere. It’s really good…The show too!

  22. I finally found the site where you can pre-order the DVD of season 1 of Dead Gorgeous. I’ll be getting myself a copy of course lol
