“Snappy” Australian award-winning sitcom returns to UK for new season with ‘higher stakes’

Australian sitcom Fisk is returning for season 3, streaming now on ITVX in the UK.

The series, whose previous seasons are available on both ITVX and Netflix, centres on a no-nonsense lawyer, Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan). Fisk kicks off with Helen relocating to Melbourne from Sydney after suffering major setbacks in her personal and professional life.

Now available on ITVX, season 3 sees Helen becoming partner at the small law firm Gruber & Gruber, now rebranded Gruber and Fisk, teasing higher stakes for the protagonist and her co-partners, Ray (Marty Sheargold) and Roz (Julia Zemiro).

“When Fisk returns for its third series the stakes are higher for Helen,” the synopsis reads.

“Being a name partner brings more responsibility and her first challenge is to pitch herself as Ray’s replacement in the local business networking group. Ray has broken the rules by dating a fellow member, his age-appropriate new lady-love Melly (Justine Clarke).

“Meanwhile George is pursuing some lucrative side hustles and Roz is slowly realising that her clients don’t seem to enjoy mediation as much as she does.”

Later on, a bomb scare at the office forces the firm to relocate to the local community work hub run by a manager, played by Rhys Nicholson.

As siblings Roz and Ray are both plunged into parallel personal crises, Helen is forced to step up to the plate and take the reins of the firm in her own hands.

Premiering in 2021, Fisk has been hailed by the Australia’s “snappy” answer to The Office in audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Absolutely hilarious. So snappy. Australia’s answer to The Office,” one fan wrote in 2024, while someone else called it “Aussie humour at its best”.

Fisk seasons 1-3 are streaming on ITVX now. Seasons 1-2 are also available on Netflix now, with season 3 following suit on 20 August.
