Love Me follows three members of the Mathieson family and their exploits in finding love. Father Glen (Weaving) is rediscovering love and intimacy in his older age while 20-something son Aaron (Lodder) is navigating love while facing an identity crisis. And daughter Clara (Novakovic) is panicking that as she’s approaching 40, she may have prioritised her career at the expense of family.

Love Me is directed by Emma Freeman, one of the most acclaimed directors working in Australian TV. Freeman recently won an AACTA Award for her work on Stateless, and has also directed episodes of The Newsreader, Secret City, Tangled and Puberty Blues.
