18th February 2026

Cameras roll on Austin season three as beloved ABC comedy returns 
The ABC, Screen Australia, ITV Studios, and South Australian Film Corporation are delighted to announce that production is underway on a third season of the much-loved narrative comedy series, Austin in South Australia. 

Produced by Northern Pictures with Lincoln Pictures and Hardy White Pictures, the six-part series has commenced filming across the UK and Australia, with Michael Theoreturning as the straight-talking and big-hearted Austin. He is joined once again by UK performers Ben Miller (Bridgerton, Death in Paradise), Sally Phillips (Veep, Bridget Jones’s Diary) and Ellie McKay (Hijack, Miss Austen). Alongside Australian actors Gia Carides (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Big Little Lies), Roy Billing (Jack Irish, Underbelly) and Natalie Abbott (Aftertaste, Return to Paradise). 

In the new season, Austin prepares for his wedding to Haley while navigating the unfamiliar world of in-laws and rising expectations. Julian and Ingrid are enjoying a friendly divorce - complicated by Ingrid’s relationship with a new man and the pressure to develop a new book series alongside the Big Bear TV show.

When the wedding takes everyone to Haley’s parents’ farm in rural Australia, tensions rise and as the big day approaches, doubts creep in. Austin and Haley begin to question their future, while Julian and Ingrid rethink their divorce - prompting the season’s central question: what makes a good marriage?

Austin season three will air on ABC TV and ABC iview in 2026.
