here & now

Chris Lilley will make his long-awaited return to television in 2011 with a new ABC comedy titled Angry Boys. After a short break over Christmas, Chris Lilley, the creative genius behind We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High is back filming his new 12-part series, Angry Boys – and here’s what he had to say:

“We’ve been shooting for a few months now and have started up again for 2011. It’s a really long shoot. And a really big show. So it’s going to take a while to put together. But it’s looking pretty good so far and hopefully quite funny. We’ve been shooting in all sorts of interesting places and we’re heading overseas in a while to shoot another component of the show.

There’s lots of new characters, new wigs, new situations and surprises. The supporting cast is huge! And they’ve all been really good so far and it’s been really fun on set. Lots of laughs. Thanks for all your messages of support and for being patient in waiting for the new show. The shoot is flying by for me so hopefully we’ll have it all together and on tv before you know it. It’ll be on HBO in the USA, BBC in the United Kingdom and ABC in Australia so stay tuned.”
