Your Five Bedrooms Friends Are Hosting A New Year’s Day Party.
Five Bedrooms Season Three. Streaming Exclusively On Paramount+, From 1 January , 2022.
If you were searching for a way to start 2022 right, we have just the tonic.
On New Year’s Day 2022, Paramount+ will stream eight brand new episodes of your favourite, breath-of-fresh-air romantic comedy, Five Bedrooms.
Forget about tackling your New Year’s Day hangover alone, now you can spend the day guilt-free on the couch catching up with your Five Bedrooms friends on Paramount+.
Back for another big season are your favourite friends; Liz (Kat Stewart), Ben (Stephen Peacocke), Heather (Doris Younane), Harry (Roy Joseph), Ainsley (Katie Robertson) and Simmo (Johnny Carr).
This season, they navigate their way through the perils and pleasures of not only co-housing, but turning said house into a bed and breakfast.
Plus, there are now two couples living under one roof, a garden-variety blindside betrayal, a brave new sexual journey, an unexpected parenting proposal, plus one-and-a-half unexpected marriage proposals.
Season three is raw and chaotic and we’re here for it.
Secrets, Betrayal and Dreams. This Is New Five Bedrooms.
Streaming Exclusively On Paramount+, From 1 January, 2022.
Looking for a New Year’s Resolution? Promise yourself you’ll binge all eight new episodes of original Australian Paramount+ drama Five Bedrooms when it lands in your lap on 1 January, 2022.
Five Bedrooms does not shy away from how raw, messy and nuanced life is, which is best celebrated in the hands of our exceptional ensemble cast. There’s the fallen socialite Liz (Kat Stewart), laconic tradie Ben (Stephen Peacocke), firecracker middle-aged mum Heather (Doris Younane), cautious gay doctor (Roy Joseph), tragic romantic Ainsley (Katie Robertson) and the eager-to-please Simmo (Johnny Carr).
This surrogate family are more fiercely loving and functional than your average biological clan. The arrangement that began as a risky short-term solution is now an empirical success, a genuine long-term prospect, and maybe even a preferable version of family and life?
In season three, Evie’s nursery has been turned into a functioning bed and breakfast that is finally ready for its debut, there’s a break-up for the house to navigate, an opportunity to become a parent, and finally, the first Five Bedrooms wedding.
Each of these events strike at the core question of the series - what’s the best way to live a life, and who are the best people to live that life with?

So glad this show is back today, I know how I’ll be spending NYD with the ordinary weather here in Qld.
Edit: The opening titles still have “Network 10 and Paramount+ present”, so I daresay this’ll still get a run on FTA.
It’s annoying how they’ve kept the preview of what’s coming up at the end of each episode, also the recap at the start.
Clearly with FTA viewers in mind, even though it’s a steaming first show now.
Kat Stewart was on The Project last night to chat about season 3.
To remove the previews would mean more production costs.
Or P+ could hurry up and add the “skip previews” button that every other streaming service known to man already has.

Don’t care, it’s a streaming show now and should be produced accordingly.
I don’t want to see a preview of what’s coming up for the next episode, it’s outdated and meant for FTA broadcast.
As @Seriously said, a skip preview or recap feature would be really handy in this instance.

It would have initially been produced for FTA when in production which is why they are there. It’s not that hard to skip the preview. Sure it’s annoying. I get that but better then not having another season!

I’m talking about the most recent season, the first and second I could understand given it may have originally been planned for the second season to air on 10 before they made the decision to move it to the platform.
I could be wrong but wasn’t it announced season 3 would be on P+ after shooting / production had finished though?
Nope Season 3 started production after the announcement / launch of season 2 on P+.

It never ceases to amaze how a woman’s age makes headlines for magazines and newspapers but a man’s age is often not even mentioned when they are featured in an article.

10’s Head of Programming Daniel Monaghan has told TV Tonight that season 2 will be show on FTA in Q3 this year. That will make it nearly a year after it launched on Paramount+.
And yet they have nothing decent in the schedule at this time of year.

Five Bedrooms Is Coming Home.
Season Two Premieres Wednesday, 25 May At 8.30pm On 10 And 10 Play On Demand.
Five Bedrooms makes its return to 10 and 10 Play On Demand, when season two premieres on Wednesday, 25 May.
This surrogate family are more fiercely loving and functional than your average biological clan. The arrangement that began as a risky short-term solution is now an empirical success, a genuine long-term prospect, and maybe even a preferable version of family and life?
There’s the fallen socialite, Liz (Kat Stewart), laconic tradie, Ben (Stephen Peacocke), firecracker middle-aged mum, Heather (Doris Younane), cautious doctor, Harry (Roy Joseph) and tragic romantic, Ainsley (Katie Robertson).
This group of five misfits first found each other at an all-too-familiar setting, the dreaded singles’ table at a wedding, where liquid courage gave them the ballsy bravado to pitch in and buy a house together. A communal approach to Australia’s property crisis, they split the impossible cost of homeownership five ways.
Season two of Five Bedrooms dives hard into themes that resonate globally. There’s a new home, a DIY renovation, a DIY renovation injury, two pregnancies, an ex-husband, a workplace bullying complaint, an unexpected tragedy, love found and love lost.
This is Australian drama at its best.

Good to have more quality Aussie drama on FTA, even if it aired first on a streaming service. Will be interesting to see if that has any impact on ratings, I’d happily rewatch if I was in front of the telly.
Wonder what other dramas 10 will serve up this year, they’ve still got S2 of My Life is Murder to screen, The Family Court Bombing drama that was previously announced and I wonder when The Secret She Keeps will commence filming for S2 - feel like that should’ve started already.
They’re really leaving it a long time between seasons for some shows with their second window airings, making it hard for audiences to keep up with some series.

Glad that Season Two will get its FTA airing in a few weeks time. I am looking forward to it.

Finally buckled last week and signed up for Paramount + to watch this and season 3. I certainly hope there will be a season 4.
