The six-part series will premiere in a not-to-be-missed weekend iview binge, available from 6pm Friday May 2 until 6pm Sunday May 4 AEST.
“We’re firm believers in innovation and improving how technology can deliver outstanding Australian content to audiences no matter where they’re watching, and we’re thrilled to now offer binge viewing of a highly-anticipated show from one of Australia’s most respected comedic talents.” Arul Baskaran, ABC Head of Online and Multiplatform commented.
Princess Pictures producer Laura Waters explained the last time we caught up with Jonah Takalua he was expelled from Summer Heights High. JONAH FROM TONGA sees Jonah now in a new school but still up to his old tricks. The Tongan rebel finds himself in hot water with plenty of fights, frenemies, break-dancing & law-breaking.
“Jonah From Tonga is a thrilling series, coming out in the most thrilling era of television, “Chris and I will always put the fan’s experience first. We’re so excited that people can choose their own way of getting involved with Jonah!” Laura Winters commented.
BBC Three will follow suit with their own binge weekend with the entire series available on the popular BBC iPlayer.
