Stan’s original drama series Bump is currently filming its fifth and final season in Sydney.
After a time-jump at the end of Season 2, season 3 and 4 jumped forward again – this time by two years. Oly’s become the family’s breadwinner, and Santi’s the unhappy stay-at-home dad.
It’s been confirmed that Season 5 will have both flashbacks and flash-forwards. In a press release sent out in the early morning, Stan said:
‘Jumping through past and present, the Chalmers-Davis family are tackling the never-ending hurdles life seems to throw their way as they face Angie’s (Claudia Karvan) diagnosis, while also trying to celebrate the joy of Oly’s (Nathalie Morris) second pregnancy.’
