The sixth season of Offspring, an Australian drama television series, premiered on Network TEN on 29 June 2016.[1]

Production

On 3 October 2014, John Edwards confirmed that Offspring would not return for a sixth series in 2015, due to Ten's cost-cutting measures in its production division.[2] On 30 August 2015, the Herald Sun reported that a sixth season of Offspring would be made - returning after a two-year hiatus.

On 20 September 2015, Ten confirmed that Offspring would return for a sixth season in 2016.[3] Production for the series began on 25 April 2016 and will run through to June 2016.[4][5] Series 6 premiered on 29 June 2016.[1]

With the return of the series, creator Deb Oswald and long-term writer Michael Lucas announced that they weren't returning to the series for the sixth season. Jonathon Gavin, another long-term writer, has stepped into the place of head writer, citing that he always thought there was more to the Proudman's story.[6] Gavin stated, about the return of the series, "Deb [Oswald] said that she conceived Offspring as the opposite of those shows where there's a dead prostitute lying in a dumpster in the beginning of the episode. This is a show that's affirming of all the things that make life great: food, sex, love, family, babies, dogs. The things that make life meaningful are our relationships to other people, those tiny moments when you have a connection with another human being. Offspring is a celebration of that."[6]

The show’s return after almost two years fast-forwards 18 months past where season five ended. Nina has been in a relationship with Leo. Billie has been managing husband Mick’s tour in the UK and youngest sibling Jimmy runs his busy Mexican taqueria while his wife Zara studies for a medical degree.[1]

Of the new season, Kat Stewart stated, "There's a life-changing event that shifts the ground for everybody and it provides us with an opportunity to mine a bit deeper with the characters, in a way that you can't do with a movie, or a play, or a short-run series. We've got all this history, so we don't run out of material, we just mine deeper."[6]
