How many series will 800 Words run for?
It looks as though series 4 will be the last we’ll see of 800 Words. Although its lead character clearly thinks the show had the scope for more seasons.
Speaking to TV WEEK Erik Thomson said: “800 Words could have run for more seasons”.
He added: “The plan was to jump ahead a year to see how things panned out, but that’s not going to happen, unfortunately”.
It’s unlikely that this will be the end of the road for Erik, though as he won the TV WEEK Logie Award for Best Actor in 2016, for his portrayal of leading man George.
He’s been acting for over 20 years and appears in a 2019 film released in Australia, Storm Boy.
