Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC TV – The hotly anticipated second season of ABC’s Take 5 with Zan Rowe will premiere Tuesday, 10 October at 8pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
A year after the critically acclaimed premiere season (#1 arts/cultural program for ABC in the last two years), the second instalment of Take 5 sees Zan return with her signature warmth, expert knowledge and disarming interview style. And joining her? A cast of icons ready to share the songs that shaped who they are today.
Oasis legend Noel Gallagher reveals his songs of escape, Scottish-Australian rock star Jimmy Barnes celebrates the music that made him, rising superstar and queer icon G Flip shares their determination, Gold Logie-nominated actor Mark Coles Smith centres himself with home, and Natalie Imbruglia and Lin-Manuel Miranda share stories, their own and others, across their five songs.
Zan says:
“The success of Take 5’s first season confirmed what I’ve long believed: songs hold our stories, and no matter who we are, we all have a deep connection to music. I’m so proud and happy that Take 5 is returning to prime time with even more incredible epiphanies from the people we love, sharing the songs that made them.”
The second season of Take 5 is even bigger in heart and revelation. Filmed in London, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, the stacked lineup all unlock different, more vulnerable sides to themselves and invite us to come along for the journey.
So, join Zan Rowe, and let’s Take 5
