"We are knocked out by this outstanding result. It is a timely reminder that Australians love great Australian storytelling and quality drama which is well conceived, beautifully written, directed and performed," said Brian Walsh, executive director of television, Foxtel.

"The result once again demonstrates Foxtel's commitment to commissioning great Australian stories and our thanks to our friends and colleagues at 7 Network Productions for crafting such a fine piece of Australian television drama. There is no doubt our audience and loyal subscribers have embraced the return of this much loved and critically acclaimed series, so our decision last year to green light the further two series is well vindicated."
