Paramount+ commissions season four of original series, Five Bedrooms

Paramount+ has announced that there is more Five Bedrooms on its way, with news that season four of the local Aussie drama has been commissioned.

Picking up just weeks after the season three finale, viewers can expect a controversial romantic entanglement, plus an unexpected diagnosis. 

There's more in store for housemates Liz (Kat Stewart), Ben (Stephen Peacocke), Heather (Doris Younane), Ainsley (Katie Robertson), Harry (Roy Joseph) and Simmo (Johnny Carr), which will be told through the eyes of Five Bedrooms creators and writers Michael Lucas and Christine Bartlett.

Filmed in Melbourne, season four of Five Bedrooms will find the cast in the midst of their own unique crises, with each striking 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?

When filming commenced on season three, Five Bedrooms creator and writer Michael Lucas said: “We are so ridiculously invested in these five characters, we simply can’t stop imagining funny, fraught, tragic, joyful situations to put them in. So, we are beyond delighted that we’ve been given a third season to run wild with them again, and we’re delighted to report that the cast have come out of the gates in best-ever form!”

Doris Younane said: “I’ve been in the industry for 35 years and these are the best scripts I’ve read. There’s so much love in season three, so much heart, and the comedy comes from the drama; it’s beautifully positioned. For me, this is great love and I want it to never stop. I’d like to be in a nursing home still shooting Five Bedrooms.”

Five Bedrooms season four will commence filming later this year and is produced by Hoodlum Entertainment for Paramount+. With major production investment from Screen Australia, it is developed and produced with the assistance of Film Victoria.
