By Press release

On the back of its breakout first season last year, ABC’s It’s A Date has started filming in Melbourne this week. The eight-part series will air later this year on ABC1.

Once again, series creator Peter Helliar has assembled an all-star cast including Lachy Hulme, Rhys Darby, Tasma Walton, Rove McManus, Shaun Micallef, Deborah Mailman, Kat Stewart, Phil Lloyd, Craig McLachlan, Vince Colosimo, Sam Simmons, Jimeoin, Susie Porter, Joel Creasey and Magda Szubanski.

Also expect the return of some of series one favourites Lisa McCune, Lawrence Mooney, Dan Wyllie, Ronnie Chieng, Celia Pacquola, Jess Harris and Emily Taheny.

But the million dollar question is “who will be dating whom?”

Peter Helliar says, “We are over the top excited to have started shooting Series 2 of It’s A Date this week for ABC TV. We look forward to bringing more awkward, beautiful, funny, sad dating scenarios; everything from a conjugal visit to the challenges of taking a date to a wedding. We look forward to catching up with some characters from series one and meeting plenty of new folk looking for love, sex, commitment and connection.”

Head of ABC TV Comedy, Rick Kalowski added, “Series 2 of It’s A Date boasts laughs and stars even bigger than Series 1. If you don’t find something to enjoy in this charming new season, you’re either dead, or the host of Media Watch”.

It’s A Date explores the tension, expectation and complication of finding true love.

Series 2 will see Peter Helliar scripting alongside some of Australia’s leading comedy writers – Phil Lloyd, Ryan Shelton, Luke McGregor, Eddie Perfect, Magda Szubanski, Celia Pacquola, Steven Gates and Roz Hammond.

Joining directors Peter Helliar and Jonathan Brough for Series 2 is up-and-coming comedy director Erin White.

Production credits: Series creator, Peter Helliar. Producers: Laura Waters and Andrea Denholm. Co-Producer, Peter Helliar. Series Producer, Paul Walton. Directed by Jonathan Brough, Erin White and Peter Helliar. ABC TV Executive Producers: Rick Kalowski and Brett Sleigh. A Princess Pictures Production in association with ABC TV and Film Victoria.

Well now we know! Good on her, lots of well known names appear on it by the looks. I didn't see the first series either, never even heard about it lol.. then again I watch pretty much zero abc. When I saw the name on it I was terrified it was some reality dating show lol. Glad it's not. I'll definitely be checking it out anyway to see her part.

That guy is freaking hot!
 
Wow I guess we were wrong in thinking that she would be in love child. Perhaps that's still possible. I remember reading that she would be in a channel Nine show. I hope her character in it's a date interacts with Pete Hellier. I should say that I love Pete ever since he took over for Dave on the project I've been watching a lot more. Hopefully Jade can make a great impression with the people at the ABC and will be able to get a bit more work out of this.[DOUBLEPOST=1402400428][/DOUBLEPOST]

So, I've done a bit of research ;) - he's a comedian/actor
http://www.steenrasko.com/

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3433570/

So he's funny and cute!
 
You know a lot of very attractive people :)

How do you know so many people? Tully, Ed's 'win a date'girl, Steen? Talk about 6 degrees of separation haha

(Are you really Eddie McGuire? ;) lol)

Oh no, busted, I'm totes Eddie. I do come from a long line of Collingwood supporters, so shamefully that almost fits.

I'm clearly very well connected (haha) but nah that is just about the extent of it. The funny thing is I never even knew Steen was a semi-notable person, I must drop his name more. I haven't seen him an extremely long time though.

But yes, I only hang out with good looking people, obviously.
