Fall Finales: Year Of - Season One

So Stan is currently a powerhouse of releasing new Australian content. Ten Pound Poms is a favourite of my parents (full confession, I'm not ready for that yet) and Totally Completely Fine. Now comes Year Of. In similar vein to Bump, just grittier. 

Year Of follows a circle of friends and their community through their final two years at the harbour front Jubilee High School (introduced to audiences in the Stan Original Series Bump), as they navigate a tragic event that upturns each of their lives forever.


It starts out fast and all over the shop. Then settles into dealing with grief and high stakes teen drama.

Stan and Channel 9 are really pumping out the Aussie content with a Shane Warne series also incoming! ABC are also launching another new drama, Bay of Fires, whilst Channel 10/Paramount+ (hopefully) will launch another Aussie/UK series Riptide.

So it's a good time to like local stories on the small screen.

Year Of is a good little gem in Stan's run of original programming. With a relatively new cast, Wentworth's Danielle Cormack and Matt Nable are two of the notable adults. Whilst Sam Johnson also stars.

Younger cast includes Tully (Samson Alston), Priya (Tharanya Tharan), Mo (Samuel El Rahi), George (Samuel Dawson), Brendan (Nicholas Cradock), Gus (Joshua Hewson), Kate (Sophia Wright-Mendelsohn), and Maya (Isabella Graiche).

So if you have finished a number of other Aussie series and youre keen for a Sydney story, based in a familiar (Bump) setting, Year Of may just be what you need.

Redfern, Glebe and Sydney Trains stations never looked so good.

There are still a few more Fall Finales incoming!
