Production
Debra Oswald wrote the series with John Edwards and Imogen Banks producing with Southern Star Entertainment.[3] Offspring was originally conceived as a two-hour telemovie for Ten, but was spun off into a 13-episode series after television executives were impressed by the quality of the telemovie. The second season began on 16 May 2011 with a double episode premiere.
On 3 October 2014, shortly after the fifth series finale aired, John Edwards confirmed that Offspring would not return for a sixth series due to Ten's cost-cutting measures in its production division.[4] In 2015, the series was picked up for another series, with production commencing on 25 April 2016 and running through to June 2016.[5] Most of the original cast returned alongside new cast members.[6] The seventh series filmed in Melbourne from March 2017[7] and premiered on 28 June 2017.[8]
In November 2017, Network Ten chose not to renew the show as part of its 2018 season, although did not officially cancel the program.[9]
The series was filmed in Melbourne's inner-north around the suburb of Fitzroy and was produced by John Edwards and Imogen Banks, who also co-produced Tangle. John Edwards was responsible for such successes as Police Rescue, The Secret Life of Us, Love My Way, and Dangerous - also produced with Imogen Banks - and Rush for Seriously Ten.
Offspring: The Nurses
A web series titled Offspring: The Nurses began in 2010 on the official Offspring website.[10] It follows nurses Kim (Alicia Gardiner) and Zara (Jane Harber) from the original series, and also stars Benedict Hardie, Julia Grace, Laura Gilham, Carl Nilsson Polias, Jodie Sheehy, and Matthew Heyward as fellow staff members of the hospital. Some cast members from the original series have also starred as well.
A second web series follows Zara (Jane Harber), and this time Justina Noble as Nurse Tyra. Series 2 also starred Benedict Hardie, Harry Milas, Josh Price, Natalie Kaplan, Sonja Kowanjko, and Kate Hopkins, while Richard Davies and Lachy Hulme also made guest appearances.
