Stan announces huge line-up of Aussie originals plus another season of Bump

Family drama Bump was the breakout local hit of 2021, and now the series has been renewed for Season 3 before Season 2 even hits screens.

Bump's second season is currently in production in Sydney. It follows teenager Oly who gives birth to a baby girl after not realising she was pregnant.

Season 2 picks up when baby Jacinda is about four months old as Oly and Jacinda's father Santi continue their journey of getting to know each other. Claudia Karvan reprises her role as Oly's mum Angie and returns as co-producer.

Bump is just one of several series Stan is partnering with production company Roadshow Rough Diamond for.

The partnership also includes Bump spin-off series Year Of. It features the students and teachers we've met in Bump, as the teenagers navigate their transition from childhood to adulthood.

Ironside is the third project announced as part of the partnership. The criminal drama is inspired by the Australian Federal Police and FBI's development of the ANOM app to track down international criminals.

Gregor Jordan, the acclaimed Aussie writer and director, and Nick McKenzie, Nine's multi-Walkley award-winning journalist for 60 Minutes, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, are working closely with Roadshow Rough Diamond producers Dan and John Edwards on the series.

In addition to Bump, Year Of and Ironside, Stan has also announced two other local projects.

Bad Behaviour is a series based on Rebecca Starford's book of the same name, which looks into the lives of teenage girls at the wilderness campus of an exclusive boarding school.

The four-part series will focus on past and present storylines and explore the impact of high school bullying and the scars it leaves, even 10 years on from graduation.

An all-female team leads Bad Behaviour, with the series written by Pip Carmel and Magda Wozniak along with Amanda Higgs as producer and Corrie Chen as director.

Bad Behaviour will start filming later this year.

Following the success of Stan's Australian festive flick A Sunburnt Christmas, another homegrown holiday movie is on the way. Christmas on the Farm stars Poppy Montgomery, Darren McMullen, Hugh Sheridan and Nicholas Brown.

Montgomery plays Clementine Jones, an Australian author whose autobiographical book about growing up on a Queensland farm has been picked up by a publisher.

But Clementine is actually Emmy, a New York socialite who has passed her late-mother's journals off as her own.

Before the publisher signs the deal, they want to experience an authentic Aussie Christmas as Clementine has described it. So Emmy heads back to the farm and asks her cousin and his husband to help keep up the lie.

The publisher shows up with her attractive son, who could blow up the whole deal if he remembers the night he met Emmy in New York.

Christmas on the Farm starts production in Queensland later this month and will land on Stan this Christmas.

Stan subscribers can also look forward to a huge roster of Australian films and series coming soon to the streamer.

They include the films Gold starring Zac Efron, Nitram from director Justin Kurzel, Transfusion with Sam Worthington and The Portable Door headlined by Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill.

Upcoming local series include thriller The Tourist, starring Jamie Dornan, and genre-bending drama Wolf Like Me with Isla Fisher and Josh Gad.

Nine Entertainment Co (the publisher of this website) owns and operates the streaming service Stan.
