Network orders more Kath & Kim
American television network NBC has ordered seven more episodes of Logie Award winning Australian series Kath & Kim.
It brings the total order for the hit series to 13 half-hour episodes.
The pick-up comes shortly after the comedy – starring Molly Shannon and Selma Blair in the US version – shot the first episode of its six-episode order.
The show is scheduled to go back into production next month on the remaining segments.
Kath & Kim focuses on the dysfunctional relationship between Kath – played by Shannon – and her daughter Kim, who is played by Blair.
It will premiere in the US on October 9, in the Thursday night slot following another show adapted from a foreign version, The Office.
The hit Australian version was created by and stars Jane Turner and Gina Riley.
