Netflix has really upped its game when it comes to iconic Aussie shows.
There’s just something about a beloved TV favourite from Down Under that just can’t be replicated by our overseas brothers and sisters.

The streaming giant has just released a sneak peek of what’s coming up in June – and the line-up does not disappoint when it comes to local gems.
All four seasons of hit drama The Secret Life Of Us, which ran from 2001 to 2005 and starred the likes of Claudia Karvan, Samuel Johnson, Deborah Mailman and Joel Edgerton, is set to drop next month.
In 2019, star Joel Edgerton waxed lyrical about how much he loved his time on the show before being catapulted into superstardom and admitted he’d consider a reunion “”if there was a big enough outcry.”
“Secret Life Of Us was one of my greatest memories as an actor,” he told TV WEEK.
“And one of my greatest risks was leaving that show, because I was having such a great time, but I saw that I wanted to do other things.
“I wasn’t leaving because I was not happy, I was leaving, I think, because I was ambitious. But I really love my memories of that show and I had such a f—–g great time doing it.”
The Secret Life of Us will be joined on Netflix by coming-of-age comedy-drama Puberty Blues with both seasons of the show being released on June 7 along with one of the country’s most successful crime mini-series, Blue Murder, which stars Richard Roxburgh and Tony Martin.
The new additions in Netflix’s catalogue are the latest in a string of cult Aussie series to make their way to the platform.
Wacky children’s show Round the Twist was recently added and gritty teen drama Heartbreak High made headlines when it was added late last year.
Other local faves already on Netflix include iconic comedy Kath and Kim and the Asher Keddie-fronted drama Offspring.
While nostalgia lovers will be more than happy with these new additions, fans of international content and newer local shows will also be thrilled with the other shows also making their way onto Netflix’s schedule. For the full line-up, click here.
