Commencing production in May 2024, Top End Bub is an eight-part series that will serve as a sequel to the original film. Created by star Miranda Tapsell, the series will reunite audiences with Lauren and Ned, played by Gwilym Lee, as they kick-start their new city life in Adelaide, South Australia.
