About: Offspring
The television series takes place in Melbourne’s Fitzroy and revolves around obstetrician, Nina Proudman and her incredible chaotic life which also features her family and friends. Offspring is a wonderful blend of flashbacks, comedy along with graphic animation as well as fantasy scenes which earned them a rating of 8.2 out of 10 on IMDB.
Offspring was initially established to be released for Network Ten as a two-hour telemovie, however, the network’s executives were impressed by the quality of the telemovie which resulted in it eventually being premiered as a television series consisting of thirteen episodes on 22nd August 2010. The second season soon hit the small screens a year later on 16th May 2011 with a double episode screening.
The third, fourth, and fifth seasons of Offspring were released on 18th April 2012, 22nd May 2013, and 14th May 2014 respectively. Nevertheless, John Edwards announced on 3rd October 2014 that the television series won’t be returning for their sixth season which was scheduled to be released in 2015. He stated the reason being Ten reducing the budget in their production division.
Regardless, following a nearly two-year hiatus Herald Sun published on 30th August 2015, that Offspring would be returning for their sixth season.
The sixth season went into production on 25th April 2016 and concluded in June 2016. The season was screened on the network on 29th June 2016.
On 4th November 2016, Offspring was renewed for a seventh season while the filming of the season started in March 2017. The seventh season was eventually aired on 28th June 2017.
Offspring Season 8: Release Date
Later in November 2017, the television series was not included in the 2018 upfront announced by Network Ten and since then no further detail or news has been confirmed whether the series is on a temporary hiatus or has been canceled for good.
Back in 2014, when the finale of the fifth season finally aired who knew we would catch the last glimpse of Nina (Asher Keddie) as she navigates being a newly single mother to her daughter, Zoe as well as encounters more of the Proudman family mishaps.
Then again in 2016, when the television series disregarded the regulations set by the TV gods and made a surprising return with their sixth season. Offspring brought about nearly every cast member in their sixth season and we were once again witnessing the Proudman family drama on our television screens.
Regardless, the True-blue fans of the Offspring didn’t quite like the sixth and the seventh season of the drama series and they revealed that it didn’t felt fully right.
So we cannot still be certain whether Offspring Season 8 will be renewed by Network Ten but there are possibilities that the series can be picked up by online streaming platforms such as Netflix or Hulu since both the networks are currently streaming the seasons of Offspring. But not to raise the hopes of awaiting fans but the odds of Offspring Season 8 happening seems quite slight and goes on reducing with each passing day.
