If this isn’t just the most wonderful news, we’re not sure what is.
Comedian and radio host, Hamish Blake, has confirmed he will be starring in an upcoming TV drama, The Wrong Girl, based on the book by his wife, Zoe Foster-Blake.
“I’ve been trying for years to seduce the creator of this show as she’s my favourite author,” said Blake.
“Hopefully my very, very small role in her show as a weatherman will do the trick.”
Whilst we’re completely over the moon Blake will be in the show, there are a bunch of other talented Australian actors to star in it.
Jessica Marais, known for her roles in Love Child and Packed to the Rafters, will play the lead role of Lily. The cast also includes Craig McLachlan, Kerry Armstrong, Madeleine West and Steve Vizard.
The Wrong Girl? More like The RIGHT Girl, am I right, girls?! Yes, I am. Jess Marais is the rightest of righty girls. I’m ecstatic she’s playing Lily (in the TV adaptation of my novel, The Wrong Girl) because her acting is whatever is 500 above A+, and also she is deeply funny, but getting to know her as a woman and silly bugger is so much fun. So to any current friends reading this: you’re on notice. Marais’s IN. Even if she doesn’t want to be. #thewronggirl A photo posted by ZOË FOSTER BLAKE (@zotheysay) on Apr 6, 2016 at 9:47pm PDT

Can't wait for this. Good Australian drama has sadly been mostly replaced by reality TV.
