Now that we’re emerging from lockdown, two of Australia’s favourite friends are coming to visit. In July, Celia Pacquola and Luke McGregor return to the ABC with a new season of the smash hit comedy Rosehaven.
Three seasons ago, urban castaway Emma (Pacquola) started a new life in Tasmania, with her best friend Daniel (McGregor) and his real estate agent mum, Barbara (Kris McQuade).
Eight brand-new Rosehaven episodes will take viewers inside the high stakes world of the regional property biz, with drama and intrigue that includes the arrival of competition for McCallum Real Estate. And if that wasn’t enough excitement, Emma gets a bunny.
“I am thrilled Rosehaven season four is coming out!” says Celia Pacquola. “Season four! Can you believe it? Luke and I have aged terribly, but this is our stupidest season yet and I can’t wait for people to see it.”
If you want proof that season four is better in every way than its predecessors, Luke McGregor is happy to provide it.
“Whilst filming season three of Rosehaven, a pig sneezed in my mouth,” he says. “That didn’t happen once filming season four and I have only happy memories of it.”
Shot entirely on location in Tasmania, Rosehaven is the feel-good antidote we all need in 2020, a screwball buddy comedy featuring two real life best friends who just happen to be two of our funniest comedians.
Also returning for season four are Sam Cotton (Diary of an Uber Driver) as town bully Bruce, Noela Foxcroft as octogenarian receptionist Mrs Marsh, Katie Robertson (Five Bedrooms) as Grace, the town GP and Daniel’s ex, Kim Knuckey as Sergeant Greg, David Quirk (Please Like Me) as locksmith and hoarder Damien, legendary comic Anthony Morgan as town crank Phil, Mick Davies as Maddrick and Susie Youssef (The Project) as op shop owner Gez.
