Jungleboys’ new eight-part series ‘The Moodys’ premieres tonight on ABC1 at 9pm EST
Jungleboys directors Trent O’Donnell and Scott Pickett’s The Moodys, the follow-up to the ABC’s hit comedy A Moody Christmas, is set to premiere tonight on ABC1 at 9pm EST.
The Moodys is an eight part comedy series focused on the loveable, yet seasonally dysfunctional Moody family as they come together for eight family events, over a single year.
A year of highs and lows unfolds against a backdrop of hysterical family gatherings. In episode one, it’s been 12 month since we last saw the Moody family. Maree and Kevin have the Moody home up for sale, outraging Sean. He’s refusing to leave his house and is squatting in his old room. Dan and Cora have returned home from the UK and, in an attempt to impress Cora’s family, Dan invites them to Uncle Terry’s Australia Day BBQ. Loaded up like a packhorse, Terry arrives early and claims the best spot in the park. However, he’s not the only one. A quarrel with an Aboriginal family ensues until a compromise is reached and the two families decide to share lunch. It’s a disaster.
Other episodes include the annual Moody family Easter Weekend in a caravan park that is not what anyone expected as well as Kevin and Maree’s anniversary which turns into a mayhem after the surprise arrival of a demanding family member. Plus more challenging moments such as Sean’s court case, Bridget’s surprise birthday and Terry’s run for council.
9pm tonight ABC1 following the new Spicks and Specks.

Love that this work is getting the success it deserves.
enjoyed the Moody’s Christmas series … looking forward to more awkward Aussie dysfunctionalism from you guys … well done Trent and Scott.
Outrageous and sensitive at the same time.
Brilliant writing and performances.
This is a brilliant show. If you haven’t seen it, best get on it.
