A PLACE TO CALL HOME, SEASON THREE COMING SOON!

Season Premiere Tuesday September 13th at 8pm

Brimming with passion, romance, and intrigue, the Australian drama A PLACE TO CALL HOME explores the ties that hold families together – and the betrayals that can tear them apart. In season three, the residents of Inverness find themselves facing both internal and external threats to their way of life, and previous relationships are tested as secrets are revealed.

PREMIERE EPISODE: The Things We Do For Love 
George has been shot, and only Rene and Regina know what happened. Sarah attempts to console Rene, who has been taken into custody. Unaware of her father's injury, Anna tries to enjoy her honeymoon with Gino while dealing with the allegations in Andrew's letter.

SEASON 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Sarah's dilemma, between her feelings for George and her duty to her husband Rene, is exacerbated by a heartbreaking secret. James and Olivia's relationship is under pressure when the true parentage of baby George is threatened with exposure. Elizabeth Bligh's decision to leave Ash Park to explore a life of her own proves more difficult than she thought. Anna and Gino face the difference between the fairytale romance and the reality of married life. Independent lovers Carolyn and Jack try to move closer to a commitment. Through it all, Regina's manipulative behavior weaves an impenetrable web around George. In the sleepy village of Inverness, sex, death and secrets are never far below the surface.

PRODUCTION NOTE: 
The on again off again production of Australia's much loved drama, A PLACE TO CALL HOME, season three almost didn't happen.  When Season Two first aired, an abrupt ending attempted to wrap up storylines after a decision was made to discontinue the show. When a third season had finally been commissioned, it was only one month later, the network had passed on the option to renew the series and told the cast and crew they would not be required for a third season.  After negotiations, a new deal announced A PLACE TO CALL HOME had officially been renewed for two more seasons. All the original cast and crew members would return and production resumed in March 2015 in Camden, the show's original filming location with a new script producer and writing team.
