Filming underway on Upper Middle Bogan 3

Filming has begun on a third season of Upper Middle Bogan today in Melbourne.

All original cast members are returning: Annie Maynard, Robyn Nevin, Michala Banas, Patrick Brammall, Glenn Robbins, Robyn Malcolm, Madeleine Jevic, Rhys Mitchell, Dougie Baldwin, Lara Robinson and Harrison Feldman.

It will be a busy year for creators/ producers Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope, with a US pilot to be known as Furst Born set for CBS. Patrick Brammall will also resume his role in the US version.

Series Creator/Producer, Robyn Butler said, “We’re so excited to unleash the wild, loud and sometimes potty-mouthed world of Upper Middle Bogan. But enough about Robyn Nevin – we love all the cast and can’t wait to make this season”.

ABC Head of Comedy, Rick Kalowski said, “It took some prompting, but we’re beyond thrilled Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope agreed to give the country more of its favourite family comedy Upper Middle Bogan. May the road from the Brights’ to the Wheelers’ go on forever.”

The ABC series, at 8 episodes, is due later this year.

Upper Middle Bogan Series 3 sees Bess Denyar (Annie Maynard) continuing to strive for a happy union between her adoptive upper middle family and her biological bogan family. Two years have passed since Bess, an upper middle class doctor, discovered she was adopted and found her drag racing, biological parents living in the outer suburbs. With her two families, the Brights and the Wheelers, each now facing a brand new set of challenges – moving houses, illness and injuries, relationships ending and beginning – Bess struggles to manage her families living at opposing ends of the freeway, with varying levels of success. Often caught in the middle of two tribes, Bess’ dreams of life as one big happy clan seem almost impossible… but only almost.
