Popular Australian drama series Love Me has hosted its season two premiere in Sydney.

The Binge* original, which will hit streaming with all six episodes on April 6, first premiered in late 2021, starring blockbuster veteran Hugo Weaving alongside acclaimed Aussie actress Bojana Novakovic. It was a critical and commercial success, and was the most nominated drama at the 2022 Logies with seven nods.

It’s been a long time coming for new episodes, and guests were finally treated to a sneak peek at the next instalment on Thursday night, with cast members William Lodder and Logie winner Heather Mitchell in attendance at the premiere.

Mitchell, 65, said on the red carpet that Love Me, which is directed Bonnie Moir this season, was the “happiest show” she’d ever worked on.

“The people … From the actors, to crew, the director, everything about this show is full of love,” she said.

“I hope it translates into the series.”

Love Me’s debut was lauded for its complex portrayals of love at different life stages, following the Mathieson family, including widow Glen (Weaving), career-driven Clara (Novakovic) and Aaron (Lodder), a young man still finding his place in the world.

The series also stars Bob Morley, Mitzi Ruhlmann, Shalom Brune-Franklin and Celia Pacquola.

The show is produced by Warner Bros International in association with VicScreen. The producer was Nicole O’Donohue and it was written by Leon Ford, Tamara Asmar, Adele Vuko and Pacquola.
