Australian streaming service Stan has announced the production of the fifth season of the Stan Original Series Bump. Currently filming in Sydney, this new season will mark the final chapter of the popular comedy-drama.
Season five promises glimpses into the future. The narrative will be oscillating between past and present, as the Chalmers-Davis family continues to confront life’s relentless challenges, including Angie’s (Claudia Karvan) diagnosis, while also finding moments of joy with Oly’s (Nathalie Morris) second pregnancy.

Co-created by Kelsey Munro and Claudia Karvan, this season brings back the Bump writing team, including Nick Coyle (Wellmania), Timothy Lee (Mystery Road), and Shanti Gudgeon (Stan Original Series Wolf Creek). Nathalie Morris will also debut as a writer for this season.
Directing the series are Margie Beattie (Bump S3, Plum), Rebecca O’Brien (Bump S3 & S4, The Unlisted), and Ismail Khan (Bump S3, Barrumbi Kids). Stan Executive Producers are Cailah Scobie and Donna Chang.
