Seven have announced that the two part mini-series Hoges will premiere over two Sundays, beginning February 12 at 8:30pm.

Embraced by all Australians and soon known simply as “Hoges,” he is joined on his meteoric journey by lifelong friend, producer and sidekick John “Strop” Cornell. Together, they first make Australians laugh, then proud with one of the most successful tourism campaigns in history selling Aussie hospitality to the world. This, with the runaway success of Crocodile Dundee, the highest US-grossing foreign film ever in its day, cements Hogan’s legacy. HOGES explores the factors which shaped this success – and at what cost success might have come. It entwines the story of his amazing journey with that of his close family life, of his two great loves, the pain of divorce, his struggle with the intense scrutiny of life in the public eye, but also of his enduring friendship with Cornell and the rollercoaster ride of their careers. FMA’s Jo Porter and Seven’s Julie McGauran are Executive Producers, Kevin Carlin ( Molly, Wentworth ) is Co-Producer and Director, Brett Popplewell is Producer and the script is by  Keith Thompson ( The Sapphires ) and Marieke Hardy ( Packed To The Rafters , The Family Law ). 

The Autopsy series returns on Monday February 13th at 11pm on Seven, kicking off with the last hours of Heath Ledger. Amy Winehouse and Philip Seymour Hoffman will also be included this season.

Update: This show will continue Thursdays at around 10:30pm with the above names all scheduled first

The Investigator will premiere its 4 part series on Wednesday February 15th at 10pm on the main channel:

Update: The show will now air Thursdays at 9:30pm.

In June 1985, Carole Packman, a wife and mother mysteriously disappeared. She has never been seen since. Her husband Russell Causley is serving a life sentence for her murder, yet her body has never been found. Renowned investigator, Mark Williams-Thomas, re-examines this real life chilling murder case, which has baffled detectives for decades.

The Chase Australia heads to primetime with a special one hour My Kitchen Rules special on Thursday February 16th at 7:30pm.

In a bizarre scheduling move, 7flix debuted the comedy series Grandfathered with a back to back episode on Sunday February 5 and then have abandoned the series with no more episodes scheduled for February 12, nor February 19. A regular slot would be nice. Seven are doing the same with The Goldbergs – in one week and out the other. Let’s play out the final 3 episodes of the season and then use the show in a consistent slot for the next season – perhaps on 7flix.
