Titled Back to the Rafters, this will be Prime Video's first Australian scripted series.
Eager to tune in for the next chapter in the story of the Rafter family? Thanks to Amazon Prime Video, you'll be able to do so quite soon.
The streaming service has commissioned its first Aussie scripted series, a reboot of the popular drama Packed to the Rafters. The show, named Back to the Rafters, will begin production in Sydney next year, meaning that we should be able to tune in sometime in late 2020.
If you're interested in what's coming to Prime in the meantime see our article.
Packed to the Rafters ran for 6 years, from 2008 to 2013, on Seven Network. It followed the beloved family through the ups and downs of life. During its run, Packed to the Rafters won 13 Logie Awards out of 42 nominations, which is quite a feat.
Moreover, the show always had good ratings, so loyal fans are likely eager to see what the characters are up to today. Until the new Amazon show becomes available, you can stream old episodes for free on 7Plus.
The reboot will feature the return of the original cast members, including Rebecca Gibney, Erik Thomson, Jessica Marais, Hugh Sheridan, Angus McLaren, Michael Caton, and George Houvardas. There's no announcement yet as to whether any of the other players will be back as well.
The new show commissioned by Amazon Studios will be produced by Seven Studios. It will be available to stream not only in Australia but everywhere where Prime Video is available, which entails more than 200 countries and territories.
According to the official synopsis, the reboot will pick up six years since we last saw the Rafter family, as Dave and Julie live in the country with their youngest daughter Ruby. Meanwhile, the older Rafter children face fresh challenges and Grandpa Ted struggles to find his place in the world.
Coming to Amazon Prime Video
Besides Back to the Rafters, Amazon Studios is also producing LOL: Last One Laughing, a variety/competition series hosted by Rebel Wilson and featuring Aussie comedians like Tom Gleeson, Tommy Little and Judith Lucy.
Cricket fans will also be able to watch docuseries The Test: A New Era for Australia's Team, which picks up after the appointment of Justin Langer as coach and offers a behind-the-scenes look at what happened next. Both these titles will be available on Prime Video in 2020 as well.
Prime Video comes free with an Amazon Prime subscription, which costs $6.99 a month with a 30-day free trial. This also buys you free expedited delivery in as fast as two days on eligible items and free international delivery on eligible Amazon US items over $49. Plus, you get early access to deals, can take advantage of thousands of free ebooks and games, and get Prime Music for free.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
