The second season of the ABC’s hit comedy series "Austin" will be premiered on Sunday 27 July on ABC TV with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview. The show star by Michael Theo has been commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and it's a Northern Pictures production with Lincoln Pictures, in association with ITV Studios. Major Production investment from the ABC in association with Screen Australia, the ACT Government, and Screen Canberra. ITV Studios distributes the series internationally.

Theo is back as the straight-talking and brilliantly authentic Austin, alongside UK stars Ben Miller ("Bridgerton") and Sally Phillips ("Veep"), and Australian favourites Gia Carides ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding"), and Roy Billing ("Jack Irish"). Rob Collins ("Total Control") and Kate Elliott ("Wentworth Prison") reprise their roles, with Rodger Corser ("Doctor Doctor"), Katrina Milosevic ("Wentworth"), Claire Lovering ("Gold Diggers"), and Natalie Abbott ("Aftertaste"), joining the cast for season two.

Across the eight-part season, Austin (Michael Theo) grapples with sudden literary fame when his novel, “An Autistic Guide to Britain” is picked up by an international publisher. Meanwhile his previously estranged father Julian (Ben Miller), and stepmother Ingrid (Sally Phillips), sell their beloved "Big Bear" series to Australian TV. Julian is swiftly cut out of the process due to his status as a social media pariah, leaving Ingrid to take the wheel. As Austin tries to stay true to himself, everyone else scrambles for relevance.

At its heart, this season is all about love – finding it, falling into it, leaving it behind – woven through a heartfelt comedy about family, ambition, and the unpredictable pitfalls of success.
