Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Amanda Keller, the series stars award-winning actor Kate Ritchie and comedian Nazeem Hussain, who portray parents navigating the complexities of today’s fast-paced world. The Role of A Lifetime explores real-world parenting dilemmas—from managing tech boundaries to handling tough conversations—using a sitcom-style format.
The series aims to help parents tackle pressing issues like when to give a tween their first iPhone, navigating the birds-and-bees talk, and addressing cyberbullying. Each episode includes expert guidance from parenting author and educator Maggie Dent, along with input from a group of Australian teens offering their perspectives on the challenges discussed.
“The Role of A Lifetime” promises to be both entertaining and informative, blending humor with practical parenting advice. Joining Keller, Ritchie, and Hussain is an impressive ensemble cast, including Heather Mitchell AM, known for her roles in Love Me and Fake, who will bring these real-world parenting dilemmas to life.
With growing concerns around parent burnout and the increasing rates of anxiety among children, the series aims to offer parents practical tools and strategies to navigate the emotional and psychological challenges of modern-day parenting. The accessible format empowers parents and caregivers with the confidence to face the difficulties of raising children today.
The series is a collaboration between ABC, Screen Australia, and Screen NSW, and is produced by Dreamchaser. The first episode will air on ABC TV on Tuesday, February 18th, at 8:30 pm, with all episodes available for streaming on ABC iview immediately after the premiere.
