It is believed this new sketch material will be joined by a selection of best-of and rare scenes from the original show which aired for two years between 2002 and 2004. 

Kath & Kim originated in 1994 as part of sketch show Big Girl’s Blouse, but the Fountain Lakes warring mother and daughter soon made their own dedicated series. 

The Kath & Kim cinematic universe included a telemovie Da Kath & Kim Code in 2005 which proved a hit in Australia, with a surprise fourth season with a new broadcaster in 2007. 

Reactions to the news are already rolling in from speculation about whether Australian actor turned pop sensation Kylie Minogue will be returning as Epponnee-Rae to general elation among millennial gays everywhere.
