Five Bedrooms tells the story of a group of very different people.
With very different backgrounds. All at very different stages of life. The solution to all their problems in season one seemed to be buying a house together.
In season two, we pick up three months after season one, where our ersatz Five Bedrooms family are in desperate need of securing a new home.
After missing out on their dream house at auction, the next best option is advertised as five bedrooms, but upon closer inspection it is four bedrooms and a shed. It can only work if they attempt a DIY extension. Any house will do at this point. It’s taking far, far longer than anyone expected.
In the season two premiere of Five Bedrooms, landing on 10 and 10 Play On Demand on Wednesday 25 May, our five find themselves at an auction, where Liz (Kat Stewart) spots her ex-husband Stuart (Rodger Corser) in the crowd with a mystery woman and a baby in tow. All of Liz’s unresolved feelings about Stuart (and the punch-in-the-heart fact that he never wanted children with her) comes roaring back to the surface.
Meanwhile, Harry (Roy Joseph) is embarking on daytime hook up sessions as he proudly embraces his new gay status, while Ben (Stephen Peacocke) persistently tries to convince stubborn Heather (Doris Younane) that they should have a proper crack at living together as a couple.
In the middle of all this, Ainsley (Katie Robertson) is determined to conquer her track record of diabolically bad judgement and evolve into the stable, level-headed single mother she aspires to be.
