The Newsreader to end with Season Three, and Season Three's release postponed until 2025

Well that is a heartbreaking sentence to write. A double whammy of sadness. A sentence that I knew I one day will have to write, but it still doesn't make it any easier.

I'm sure you've all seen this article by now. As sad as I am to see this, all good things must unfortunately come to an end. Even the show I've dedicated myself to so fiercely for nearly three years.

What the entire team behind the show has managed to achieve in such a relatively short time is incredible. It feels like we've spent longer with these electric characters and that gripping storyline, but in reality it's only been for twelve episodes, and we are very lucky to still have six more to go.

It has been an immense joy getting to spend time with The Newsreader, and I'm so extremely proud of each and every one of the people involved. They're really my telly family now. You can count on me to bring you all the Newsreader joy from all characters' and creators' perspectives for the remainder of 2024, and into 2025 with Season Three 💖

Sarah, who feels no social stress: I don’t think it would be weird to just say you don’t drink.

Davey, who feels all the social stress: Yes it would. Yes it a little bit would, and you know that.

While we don’t get full comics anymore, at least the art looks great

"Samberg fits as easily into the drama as Davey did into Miller's life."

Watching WILTY and QI with my parents and I can't stop thinking about comedian javey au where they keep appearing on shows like such together and cause chaos and slowly fall in love

P L E A S E

Every episode you can see Davey contemplating leaping over the desk to fist fight Jack, until suddenly you’re like “wait……those are some heart eyes……….”

Can you describe what it’s like? I feel nothing.

[fluffydavey]

based on a beautiful poem called moonshine by richard murphy, a great irish poet. trying to get into the swing of writing before heading home for a short break!

After the strike, things slowly begin to settle. Not at first, there’s a union to run that he’s roped into. “Surely you know by now, we works best as a team?” Jack had said, and that was that. Who was he to turn down this boy who had turned his entire life upside down in a matter of days?

But his father finally finds a new job, and he and Les finally go back to school. They sell in the evenings, and Davey stays up late to complete his homework and help Sarah and their mother with work around the house. 

In his spare time, he spends time with the boys in the lodgings. He loses at card games with Race, helps teach the younger boys to read and write, and spends as much time as he can with Jack, who’s caught up in his love affair with Katherine. He doesn’t even have it in him to be jealous. He’d easily fall in love with her if he could. 

He writes too - he’ll never see his name is the papes again after the strike, and the victory that had ensured. But there’s things he wants to scream, things that are so unfairly engrained in the truth of the matter that Davey cannot stop thinking of Jack. And he’s not supposed to. He isn’t allowed to. 

To think

I must be alone:

To love

We must be together.

I think I love you

When I’m alone

More than I think of you

When we’re together.

He meets a girl at temple, someone who Sarah introduces him to. Her name is Anne, and she lets him walk her home every week. He invites her to see a show at the theatre, and he doesn’t miss the look that Jack sends his way - confusion, maybe even annoyance that Davey hadn’t confided in him about it first, he thinks. He introduces Anne that evening, who’s starstruck at the idea that he knows the Medda Larkin. Davey doesn’t miss how quiet Jack is that night.

They kiss for the first time that night. He’s at Anne’s doorstep, when she leans in for a kiss. It’s not the all-encompassing, life-changing moment he had always prepared himself for it to be. But Anne leans in for another, and he needs to excuse himself before her father catches them. As soon as Les catches word that Davey’s dating a girl from temple, word catches around the lodgings like wildfire. 

“Who’d have thought Davey boy had it in him?” Race cheers, slapping him on the back as the others holler around him.

“He’s not a boy, he’s a man!” Crutchie says, to a round of cheers. Davey goes bright red, still not used to being the centre of attention to his newfound family.

His eyes drift to Jack, who isn’t roaring with pride like the rest of them. He yearns to know what his friend is thinking. A part of him thinks that Jack might even be jealous - but no, a boy like Jack would never go for another boy like Davey. So they don’t talk about it, like Davey doesn’t ask too many personal questions about Katherine. And it works for them.

So Davey writes, and he keeps his true thoughts kept in a leatherbound notebook he had been given for his sixteenth birthday by his mother, that’s hidden under the floorboard underneath his bed.

I cannot think

Without loving

Or love

Without thinking.

Alone I love

To think of us together:

Together I think

I’d love to be alone.

Back 33 years or so ago, The Hickoids’ Davy Jones (RIP) hosted a month of Tuesday open-mic jams at Austin's Continental Club with all his pals invited. I was in town visiting from L.A., so I was included. Here's a flyer he drew for that event…

The Newsreader Turns Three Years Old! 💖

In the morning, it will have been three years since The Newsreader first aired on the ABC, on the 15th August 2021!

Since that day in 2021, we all found this show at various points along the way, and we have created this beautiful community around it across many platforms. As much as this is a day of celebrating what the cast and crew have put together, it is a day for us too, because we’ve kept The Newsreader’s online conversation going even when the media have stopped covering it. We’ve made it the cult hit it has become.

For me personally, I’ll forever be grateful to this show for coming into my life at the moment it did. From rescuing my sense of boredom during lockdown, to helping me grow into the person I’m meant to become, and for giving me creative opportunities that I could have never dreamed of, the past three years have been an incredible creative ride. The 15th August will always be a special day to me, to celebrate the piece of media that has changed my creative life. I am so grateful for the creative spirits behind it, the people in the fan community surrounding it, for nurturing my brain and helping me find my creative voice. It has meant so much joining the News At Six family.

I thank everyone who has contributed to this digital birthday presentation, for their words which demonstrates how much this show means to its viewers. I was in awe of everyone’s words and thoughts about what makes The Newsreader special to them. I’m proud of us all, and thrilled that we found a show which we feel at home in, especially those of us who feel different. There is a place for us after all, where we can feel loved just the way we are.

Happy Third Newsreader Anniversary, everyone, from News At Six 1986! 💖🌟📺📰
