In fantastic news for fans of Benjamin Law, excellent writing, diversity on television and shows where mothers talk about dicks a lot, SBS has just announced that The Family Law has been renewed for a second season.

From its debut on Facebook that attracted over 1 million views over the space of a single weekend, The Family Law attracted both critical and popular acclaim for reflecting a reality that deviated from our regularly scheduled whitewashed programming. It was also bloody funny.

Season two will premiere in early 2017, so maybe just watch season one over and over again until then?
