Paul Fenech’s Housos gets second series on SBS

Fenech: Brain behind Housos

SBS has commissioned another series of nine episodes of Paul Fenechs politically incorrect comedy Housos.

Production of the new series set in a fictional housing commission block in Sunnyvale starts in Sydneys western suburbs on Monday.

The cast includes Encore columnistJason Jabba Davis, Habib Tahir, Melissa Tkautz, Amanda Keller and Angry Anderson. Narrator Ian Turpie passed awayin March this year.

Since it first aired on SBS, Fenech has also shot a Housos feature film.

Tony Iffland, SBSs director of television and online content, said: Housos became hugely successful with its tongue-in-cheek humour. The new season will continue our commitment to commissioning and supporting Australian content and talent. We are delighted to be working with Paul again on a second series.

Fenech best known for Fat Pizza said: The new season of Housos gives fans the chance to unite and get in touch with their inner-bogan. Whether you have to beg, borrow or literally steal a TV set to watch it, we have enough surprises to make it worth your while.

The first series of the unashamedly unsophisticated show was SBS best performing in its timeslot. The show gained notoriety before it even aired after Nines A Current Affair mistook it for a documentary.
