SBS developing more Struggle Street

Struggle Street producers are talking with groups, leaders and community members across several Australian suburbs with a view to a second season.

Leader newspapers reports at least two people in the western Melbourne suburb od Sunshine have been test-filmed by producers.

But SBS says no potential locations could be confirmed.

The controversial first series, located in Mt. Druitt, drew bumper ratings for SBS earlier this year along with plenty of criticism and a mixed viewer response.

Sunshine and District Historical Society curator Alan Dash said of Sunshine, “It certainly was a working class area with many families from lower socio-economic backgrounds and very multicultural.

“It’s something to be proud of — that’s our heritage.”
