Aussie kids defy orders as Do Not Watch This Show achieves biggest launch of the year on ABC iview
Following the outstanding success of the debut season, the ABC, Screen Australia and VicScreen are thrilled to announce that Do Not Watch This Show: Season 2 has been greenlit. Season 1 saw its first episode hit an average audience of over 2.5 million.
The series, adapted from the book series Do Not Open This Book by Andy Lee, achieved 1 million average viewers across ABC Family and ABC iview in its first two weeks*, making it the #1 show across all of ABC iview in its launch period.
Season 1 has achieved a staggering 115 million minutes viewed on ABC iview in just three months.
These astounding numbers make Do Not Watch This Show the biggest launch of a new Children & Family show in the history of ABC iview.
Andy Lee said, âIâm overwhelmed and absolutely ecstatic to hear so many families are tuning in and enjoying Do Not Watch This Show. While it could be interpreted that we have a whole country of disobedient children, which sounds quite alarming, I prefer to think itâs a triumph for cheeky rascals everywhere. Keep on keeping on, you little ratbags. Let the fun and the giggles continue for Season 2.â
ABC Director Screen, Jennifer Collins said, âItâs testament to the team at Lee Bones that this original series has connected so strongly with Australian families and quickly become a household favourite. Weâre proud to be the home of high-quality family programming on the ABC and we canât wait to see whatâs in store for Wizz and his friends in Season 2.â
Screen Australia Director of Narrative Content Louise Gough said, âAndy Lee and the Do Not Watch This Show team have captured the hearts and imaginations of little and big mischief-makers alike. The extraordinary success of the first season speaks to the teamâs flair for writing a series that is wildly entertaining for viewers of all ages. I cannot wait for the shenanigans to continue in Season 2 â sorry Wizz, but we will be watching!â
VicScreen CEO Caroline Pitcher said, âThe smash hit Do Not Watch This Show proves just how brilliantly Victorian screen talent can entertain and inspire young audiences. Weâre thrilled to be supporting Lee Bones and a terrific local team to make another season of Do Not Watch This Show in Victoria. We canât wait to ânot watchâ what Wizz and his pals get up to next!â
The animated series centres on Wizz, a blue monster who refuses to accept that he is the star of a TV show and is desperate for kids to switch it off. Wizz, voiced by Lee, goes to hilarious lengths to deter his audience, which only makes him more appealing.
Do Not Watch This Show Season 2 will air on the ABC in 2026.
