Ten has revealed a big name cast for its Cronulla period drama Puberty Blues.

Many of the actors have worked with the Southern Star production team on previous shows. The producers of the series – which will go beyond the book Puberty Blues and potentially leave the door open for ten to do further series – will be Imogen Banks and John Edwards. Filming for the current series of Offspring has just wrapped.

In only two feature film, writer/director/animator Sarah Watt has already proven herself to be one of the most important voices in Australian cinema. After the grand debut of Look Both Ways (which won the AFI for Best Film amongst others) she has given us the effortlessly charming My Year Without Sex.

Starring Sacha Horler (Praise) and Matt Day (returning from overseas TV work such as Secret Diary of a Call Girl) as an ordinary married middle class suburban couple with two kids (Jonathan Segat and Portia Bradley). When Horler's Natalie suffers an aneurysm her life takes many different turns.
