The new Kath & Kim special will feature just “10 minutes of new footage” starring Gina Riley and Jane Turner – with Sonia Kruger among the celebrity guests who will be making an appearance
Kath & Kim return for a new television special.
But fans hoping for a restart of the sitcom could be disappointed, as a new report from The Herald Sun on Saturday claims the special will feature just ten minutes of new footage.
There is also a “Best of” countdown with celebrity guests and never-before-seen “clips from the vault”.

Gina Riley and Jane Turner will star in the new footage, while fellow cast members Magda Szubanski, Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn will also appear and talk about their favorite scenes.
Mason Cox, Sonia Kruger and Celia Pacquola will also star in the special.
“The Kath and Kim project, which is being filmed in Melbourne, is a clip show. There’s no deep plot, no new episode,” an alleged insider told The Herald Sun on Friday.

The Daily Telegraph previously claimed that the popular Australian sitcom was planning a special “celebration of beloved characters” and “memorable moments”.
The special, which has no air date yet, is a different project from the series reboot that was rumored earlier this year.
The show, which aired from 2002 to 2007 and starred Jane Turner and Gina Riley, will return next year, according to Woman’s Day.

The Melbourne home that served as a central filming location for the series has been visited by crew members in recent weeks, neighbors say.
“It was unimaginable that neighbors could keep TV’s biggest secret much longer,” a source told the magazine.
The Kath & Kim special is in pre-production and is expected to air on a streaming platform, not a free-to-air TV network.
Kath & Kim aired on ABC from 2002 to 2005 and on Channel Seven in 2007.
There is also a “Best of” countdown with celebrity guests and never-before-seen “clips from the vault”.

It comes after actress Magda Szubanski, who played Sharon Strzelecki, said last May a reboot was off the table.
“I think it should be off the table … It holds such a special place in people’s memories,” the comedian said of The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
“When we did a live show that was a ‘best of’ or something, it’s different.
“But to actually try to do a whole new series, I think you can never recapture that magic.”
