Got around to watching the final episode tonight, and it does give more of a final episode type vibe’s (i.e. Ray leaving, Roz and Helen finally getting along), however, another part of me is there is some potential in another series where they explore how Helen and Roz work together as partners.

I think there is potential for more. They could have Ray regretting his decision to quit and come back to the office in the same way Helen first started.
I’d really like them to have another small business on the ground floor that becomes part of the storylines like the coffee shop and Blendology. Maybe Acai or frozen yoghurt or bubble tea.
I mean yes it could be an ending, but also seeing Roz and Fisk working together as partners is also a funny concept for more episodes.
Maybe have Mellie have her business on the bottom floor, which would allow for Ray to keep popping in.
I think it was done in a way that allows for closure if it wasn’t renewed but also allows for plenty of opportunities like mentioned for another series - which I really hope there is and Ray still needs to be involved because that bromance between him and George!
100% - the previous season’s were also written like that - first season ended with Helen finally getting a permanent job at the firm, and second season ended with Helen becoming a partner - both would’ve made decent endings, but still left the door open for more stories.
And I agree with you @ando9185 that Ray still needs to come back for the bromance (or a Ray & George spin off 
)

ABC’s smash hit comedy series Fisk breaks ratings records
The ABC is thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning series Fisk, has broken viewing records for the national broadcaster.
The premiere episode of season 3 has surpassed a total audience of 3 million* and earned the top spot as the all-time highest-rated episode of any non-kids show on the ABC since the total audience methodology was introduced in 2016.
As one of the ABC’s most successful comedy programs ever, season 3 is the #1 non-kids title on ABC iview in 2024* and holds an average audience to date of over 600,000 viewers per episode on ABC iview.
Since launch, both seasons 1 and 2 of Fisk have achieved an astonishing average of one million per episode* on ABC iview, on top of its blockbuster success on broadcast television.
Co-creator/writer/director and multi-award winner, Kitty Flanagan, says “I’m so lucky that I get to make this show with so many talented and funny people - both on screen and behind the scenes. The fact that we managed to make something that viewers are tuning in to watch is the icing on the mud cake. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever stop being surprised (or delighted) by the fact that a show centred around a plain, fifty something woman in a baggy brown suit became a hit.”
ABC Head Scripted, Rachel Okine said “The ABC is the home of the best original Australian comedy and the return of the hugely successful Fisk in 2024 has continued this proud legacy. These groundbreaking numbers are a true testament to Kitty’s hard work, comedic talent and the wonderfully creative team she has assembled. We are thrilled that audiences continue to love and adore Helen Tudor-Fisk and all those that walk through the doors of Gruber & Fisk.”
Commissioned by the ABC, the proudly made-in-Melbourne series premiered in 2021, introducing audiences to the incomparable Helen Tudor-Fisk, the brown-suited wills and probate lawyer portrayed with comedic brilliance by Flanagan. Helen’s unique blend of sharp wit and relatable charm quickly captured hearts and set the tone for the series’ unprecedented success.
Joining Flanagan each episode is the remarkable ensemble of Aaron Chen, Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold, John Gaden and Glenn Butcher, who, alongside episodic guest cast drawn from Australia’s most accomplished comedic performers, have elevated the show to unparalleled heights.

And what about ABC’s biggest comedy series Fisk?
Collins and her team are dead keen for more.
“We are in discussion with Kitty about S4, and we are ready whenever Kitty is ready!”

Well done Fisk
While some of the FTA awards were questionable, couldn’t argue with Fisk as best comedy and Kitty best comedy actor.

Cannot argue with that. Fisk has had an amazing run - dominating both the Logies and the AACTA Awards. And deserving so. ABC has a true winner with Fisk.
And last night, even beating Colin From Accounts.
There have been some questionable comedies here in Australia in recent times. Thankfully, Fisk is not one of them
Hope Marty makes an appearance
