A second season of ABC’s Superwog, the brainchild of brothers Theodore and Nathan Saidden, will begin shooting this week in Melbourne.
Produced by Superwog and Princess Pictures, the second instalment will dive further into Superwog’s volatile family as he and his dad chase their passions, test their friendships, fight relatives and butt heads with authorities.
The Saidden brothers have written and will star in all episodes, with Theodore to direct. They co-produce with Mike Cowap and Antje Kulpe. Executive producers are Emma Fitzsimons, Elia Eliades and Katherine Dale, with Todd Abbott and Andrew Gregory for the ABC.
Superwog‘s beginnings are viral YouTube skits. Google/Screen Australia then supported a TV pilot via their Skip Ahead initiative, which then led to the ABC ordering the first season.
“We couldn’t be prouder of Theo and Nathan,” Cowap said.
