International Television Australia for the Foxtel Group, and financed with support from Screen Victoria, sees the return of the Mathieson family, Glen, his daughter Clara and his son Aaron, who have picked up the pieces of their complex lives following Christine’s death and are each grappling with a new reality that poses the challenging question – is love enough? Adapted from the hit Viaplay Original Älska mig created by Josephine Bornebusch, "Love Me" is directed by multi-award-winner Emma Freeman and written by Alison Bell, Leon Ford, Adele Vuko and Blake Ayshford.

Since its debut last year, new sales have been secured for the first season of "Love Me" with SBS (Belgium) and Proximus, Pickx + (Belgium).  The romantic drama has already been acquired by more than 25 territories, including premium streaming service Hulu in the US which recently premiered all episodes.  Series one and two stars Hugo Weaving, Bojana Novakovic, William Lodder, Sarah Peirse, Heather Mitchell, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Celia Pacquola and Bob Morley.

In the new season of "Love Me," Glen and Anita are faced with the arrival of someone from her past who will threaten their current happiness and security; Clara must come to terms with becoming a step parent to Peter’s son as well as the very real prospect that her hopes of having a family of her own may never be realised; and Aaron’s attempts to juggle fatherhood, Ella and his love for Jesse send him into a spiral of self-doubt and erratic behavior. Together, however, the Mathiesons will weather the storm of uncertainty as they always do, with humour, arguments, misunderstandings, champagne and of course… a deep and bonding love.
