Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - Homebodies - Miniseries

Homebodies is a bold, surprising and heartfelt Australian family drama that explores the courage it takes to accept the ghosts of our past.  

Starring Bump favourite,  Claudia Karvan, Luke Wiltshire & Jazi Hall.

Following  Darcy (Wiltshire), a trans man who reluctantly returns to his regional hometown to care for his estranged mother Nora (Karvan). But home isn’t as he left it. Nora has been living with a secret housemate: Dee (Hall), the teenage ghost of Darcy’s pre-transition self. 

Homebodies is another one of those short and sharp miniseries on SBS On Demand .

This  six × 10 minute series was recently selected for the prestigious Series Mania festival in France. So being that short (compared to recent local series, Deadloch) this was a one night and done affair.

Lead, Luke Wiltshire is terrific, whilst Claudia Karvan brings a name to this SBS original. She will also soon star in The Airport Chaplin. This also takes us back to a shirt lived series on Foxtel, Sprited. Which also starred Karvan.

This felt, original, bold and eye opening. It was beautifully told and shot across NSW.

We have had a solid, diverse and fascinating first quarter of local TV in 2026. I managed to sneak this in ahead of Q2's new blog series.

Tonight Paradise wraps on Disney+, then the RATED for the last few HOT months lands.

See you then!
