With Roadshow Rough Diamond’s Bump reportedly breaking viewing records for Stan since its launch on New Year’s Day, the streamer has ordered a second season.
Created and co-written by Kelsey Munro, the 10-part drama follows Nathalie Morris as Oly, an ambitious and high-achieving teenage girl who has a surprise baby. Claudia Karvan, who also produced the series with John and Dan Edwards, stars as her mother.
Set in and around a high school in inner Sydney, the series explores unexpected motherhood, unwelcome new relatives, unintended consequences and the culture clash between the two families.
Carlos Sanson Jnr plays the baby’s father, with Catalina Palma, Safia Arain, Paula Garcia, Ioane Saula, Peter Thurnwald and Ricardo Scheihing Vasquez as school friends and family members.
Development on the second series is currently underway with filming expected to commence later this year. Confirmed cast will be announced at a later date.

“I’m definitely going to be informal on the bottom — not that anyone is ever going to see it,” the “Normal People” star says on Thursday’s episode of Variety and iHeart’s podcast The Big Ticket from his home in London.
Mescal is up for an Emmy for his work as Connell in the Hulu coming-of-age drama. Until the show came along, his only other on-screen credit was for a comedy series called “Bump” that’s never been released.
When the nominations were announced he couldn’t get in touch with his mother, who was so nervous that she went for a walk on the beach.
“I was trying to voice call everybody on a WhatsApp group, but nobody was picking up,’ Mescal recalls. “I think they were all kind of scared. When I got everybody on the call,...

(L-r): Monica Zanetti, Mithila Gupta, Julie Kalceff, Darlene Johnson and Brooke Goldfinch.
Mithila Gupta, Brooke Goldfinch, Darlene Johnson, Julie Kalceff and Monica Zanetti have been selected by Screen Nsw and Australians in Film (AiF) to participate in a two-stage professional development lab designed to foster career pathways and networks in the US industry.
Known as the Charlie’s Talent Escalator Lab, the initiative is supported by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Each of the five filmmakers have already completed the first stage: a customised five-day virtual lab, which saw them paired with an industry mentor in LA, and given access to executives at US networks, streamers and studios, as well as writers, directors and producers.
For stage two, to be held in 2021 when health guidelines permit, participants will then travel to LA to meet their mentors, spend time in the field, attend meetings and network at Charlie’s in Raleigh Studios.
