Denise Scott and Matt Okine return for more family hijinks in September.
The second season of Mother & Son screens on ABC in September.
Denise Scott returns as the delightfully unpredictable Maggie, joined once again by Matt Okine as her long-suffering son Arthur.
Returning cast include Virginia Gay, Zara Tate and Jean Kittson, along with guest appearances from Heather Mitchell (Love Me), Mark Lee (Gallipoli, A Place to Call Home, La Brea), David Collins (The Umbilical Brothers) and many more.
Produced by Wooden Horse and directed by Shaun Wilson (Rosehaven, Frayed) this season sees more misadventures as mischievous Maggie continues to derail the life of her neurotic son Arthur, who’s still stuck at home and struggling to grow up.
As Arthur flounders through freelance journalism, dating apps, and spicy snacks, Maggie sets out to make her 70s unforgettable—whether it’s joining a rogue knitting group or chaining herself to a fig tree. Meanwhile, their scheming sister Robbie (Angela Nica Sullen) has big plans for Maggie’s nest egg and the family home.
