Much loved Australian drama SeaChange is returning to television almost two decades after it aired its final season.
The announcement was made at Channel 9’s Upfronts event, which revealed their programming lineup for next year.
Originally airing on ABC between 1998 and 2000, the show starred Sigrid Thornton as big city lawyer Laura Gibson who needs a change of scenery after the breakdown of her marriage.
