Austin is an Australian comedy drama[3] series on ABC TV, which premiered on 9 June 2024.[1]
Summary and production
The series was filmed in Canberra starting in November 2023[4] and in England and produced by Northern Pictures[5][2] and Lincoln Pictures.[1] The series is eight parts long and supported by the ACT Government, Screen Australia, ITV Studios[4] and Screen Canberra.[1] Michael Theo,[6] a neurodivergent contestant on reality series Love on the Spectrum debuts in acting as the titular character Austin. Austin also stars Australian and British actors Ben Miller as Julian, Sally Phillips as Ingrid,[5] Gia Carides as Austin's mother and Roy Billing as Austin's grandfather.[1]
International broadcast
Internationally, Austin will be broadcast on ITV in the United Kingdom, later in 2024.[7]
Reception
In a 2024 review, Craig Mathieson of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote, "Austin is not a show about autism. It has an autistic character in one of the lead roles, but the central focus is the father and son connection between Julian and Austin."[8] Anthony Morris of ScreenHub wrote, "Having an extremely predictable story isn't necessarily a bad thing in a comedy."[9]

Having an extremely predictable story isn't necessarily a bad thing in a comedy. And for periods here and there, this seems like it might provide a few decent laughs. Miller and Phillips are seasoned UK professionals, while Carides and Roy Billing (as Austin's grandfather Bill) get a lot of mileage out of their roles. And Theo does a great job as the story's emotional (and occasionally comedic) heart; if nothing else this is an excellent showcase for him.
