Chris Lilley’s Angry Boys unveiled by the ABC
The ABC has revealed a first look at Chris Lilley’s new series Angry Boys.
Lilley’s previous mockumentaries for the ABC – We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High – were ratings draws for the national broadcaster, particularly in younger demographics.
The potentially controversial characters include Lilley playing a pushy Japanese mother.
US network HBO is a co-producer while the BBC has already bought the series too.
According to the ABC the show features 89 main roles and 1228 extras across 850 scenes in more than 70 locations.
Another trailer for the series will air in a fortnight’s time.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large.

oh dear, they’re not giving that tedious one-joke a third show are they?
it’s bad enough having to deal with Laid finishing up tonight..
dear ABC – please! less of that juvenile, boring and borderline offensive Lilley, and give us more, much more of the wry, dry and un-shy Hardy.

Lilley is the GOAT.
No doubts about it, greatest of all time.

Lilley is awesome: can’t wait for this. I hate that girl that made Laid.

Mmmm. I’m a Lilly fan, but I do hope all the inner-city-greenie-pc brigade remember to bite their lips next time they feel compelled to criticise AM shock jocks for racial stereo-typing – because Lilly is the comedy-master of it.

I’ll switch on only if Jonah is a special guest on the first episode

His previous series have been brilliant, and I’ve no doubt this will be as well. I’m almost happy enough that my involuntary $0.11 a day (a joke from another post, before anyone gets started) goes to the ABC, just so they can pay for this.
I dont care if it is the same joke essentially, it’s a bloody funny joke, keep it coming.

Woo Hoo some decent TV. Although I am partial to a bit of Jersey Shore, The Only Way is Essex and of course Spongebob Squarepants (starring me) I’m looking forward to Chris Lilley’s new one.

yay! Bring it on! Can’t wait – looks HILARIOUS!
Met him while filming in Torquay at Growlers – looked a very tired boy.

I like it. Although I first thought this was some sort of parody of Angry Birds going around Twitter…

To all of those sad people who have tocriticise Chris Lilley’s brilliance – you are a minority. Don’t watch it! Put on a DVD of Grumpy Old Men/Women instead and knock yourselves out.
