Kath & Kim, an iconic Australian TV sitcom that initially aired two decades ago, is getting a reboot.
The show, which aired from 2002 to 2007, will be relaunched next year on a streaming platform, according to Woman’s Day.
According to the publication, crew members have been visiting the Melbourne property that served as the show’s principal location.
Residents in the area have told Woman’s Day that they have observed the crew members in recent weeks.
“It was unimaginable that neighbours could keep TV’s biggest secret under wraps much longer,” said a source.
According to Woman’s Day, the reboot is currently in pre-production, and a formal announcement is due later this month.
The announcement may come as a shock to fans who were assured last year by actress Magda Szubanski, who played Sharon Strzelecki, that a reboot was not in the cards.
“I think it should be off the table… It holds such a special place in people’s memories,” she told The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
“If we did a live show, which was a ‘best of’ or something like that, that’s different.
“But to actually try and do a whole new series, I think you can never capture that magic again.”
