Back To The Rafters...OFFICIALLY AXED!

The cast were left reeling last week, as the devastating news sunk in

It was pitted as the TV comeback of the year, with its popular cast, including Rebecca Gibney, Erik Thomson, Hugh Sheridan and Michael Caton, reprising their roles and returning to the Rafter family home almost 10 years after it went off the air.

However, unlike the show’s characters, it appears the Packed To The Rafters audience have moved on, with the reboot being unceremoniously axed by streaming service Amazon Prime after just six episodes – leaving the stars in shock!

BACK TO SQUARE ONE

Talking to Woman’s Day, a show insider says the cast have been left “disappointed” after hearing the news, with many of them signing on to what they believed would be a multi-season reboot.

“They all loved doing it again – they’re like family, so they’re bitterly disappointed,” the source spills.

“While a lot of the actors, like Rebecca and Hugh and Erik have loads of work lined up, the others – particularly the newcomers – felt as if they’d won the lottery only to have the money taken back off them.”
