Seven chief content officer of entertainment programming, Angus Ross said: “Since I was a young lad, I’ve admired the elegance and poise of Kath Day-Knight – and her clowning glory. In fact, it’s safe to say she was my first crush. 

“From high couture to yoga, Kath and Kim have had an immeasurable impact on the world. While I still find it difficult to look Kath in the eyes without blushing, it is an honour to be able to reunite them with their adoring fans.”

Executive producer Rick McKenna said: “It’s fascinating and delightful to see audiences around the world still loving Kath & Kim after 20 years. It was great fun getting the team back together, plenty of laughs all around, which we look forward to sharing very soon.”

In 2017, the rights to the series were acquired by Nine which began airing repeats of the series from 1 August 2017 until 21 November 2017.

In 2018, the series was released on Netflix in several regions, as well as the films and TV specials, and in July 2019, the series was launched on Netflix in Australia as well as the Kountdown Specials and Souvenir Editions.

In 2022, to mark its 20th anniversary the Seven Network began airing repeats of the series on 29 September 2022.
