About the Show
Mother and Son returns to ABC this September with more laughs and chaos – The ABC is pleased to announce the highly anticipated second season of Mother and Son returns, lighter and brighter with a fresh injection of fun, on Wednesday 24 September at 8:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
Comedy favourite Denise Scott returns as the delightfully unpredictable Maggie, joined once again by the sharp and charismatic Matt Okine as her long-suffering son Arthur. With Matt also back at the helm as writer and re-creator, this dynamic duo is set to deliver another season packed with heart, hilarity, and the kind of chaos only the Boye family can bring.
Produced by Wooden Horse and directed by Shaun Wilson, known for his work on ABC favourites Rosehaven and Frayed, the all-new Mother and Son returns with more misadventures as mischievous Maggie continues to derail the life of her neurotic son Arthur, who’s still stuck at home and struggling to grow up.
As Arthur flounders through freelance journalism, dating apps, and spicy snacks, Maggie sets out to make her 70s unforgettable—whether it’s joining a rogue knitting group or chaining herself to a fig tree.
Meanwhile, their scheming sister Robbie (Angela Nica Sullen) has big plans for Maggie’s nest egg and the family home.
Joining the Boye family as they stumble through chaos, comedy, and community in this hilariously dysfunctional second season are returning favourites Virginia Gay, Zara Tate and Jean Kittson, along with special guest appearances from Heather Mitchell (Love Me), Mark Lee (Gallipoli), David Collins (The Umbilical Brothers) and many more.
