Get to know the all-star cast of Five Bedrooms

Steve Peacocke as Ben

35-year-old Ben is described as a ‘man-child’ by his frustrated housemates, with the the down to earth tradie living in a van before buying a home with these complete strangers.

“It’s been a challenge for me to play Ben, because we are quite different,” Stephen tells TV WEEK during our set visit. “He’s carefree and wants to be in the thick of it all; I prefer to sit on the sidelines a bit.”

Fans will recognise Steve from his iconic turn on Home and Away as Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton. He went on to star in Wanted with Rebecca Gibney, as well as major Hollywood blockbusters Me Before You and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Kat Stewart as Liz

Liz is a 42-year-old divorcee looking for a fresh start. The bankrupt lawyer is conservative and places a LOT of importance on status.

“It’s great to come back on TV with a show like this and a character that’s so different to Billie Proudman [from Offspring],” Kat tells TV WEEK of the role.

Kat is known for her turn as Billie on Offspring, along with her roles in shows including Underbelly, Tangle and Mr & Mrs Murder.

Katie Robertson as Ainsley

28 and single, Ainsley is a romantic tragic and the absolute heart of the groups’ new home.

The real-estate agent is described as being “everyone’s best friend” and is called the “hero” of all her housemates’ lives by Ben in the show’s trailer.

Fans will recognise Katie from ABC’s Rosehaven, The Kettering Incident and True Story with Hamish & Andy.

Roy Joseph as Harry

The 30-year-old single doctor is ready to take a big step in his life, moving away from his VERY loving mum and in to this new home with five not-so-perfect strangers.

Roy previously starred as Vijay Kapoor in Back in Very Small Business, along with a role in the 2017 short Dark Horses.

Doris Younane as Heather

Un-happily married and having a mid-life crisis, Heather moves in to the home later than the others despite being the one who suggested it in the first place.

The sarcastic aged-care nurse provides plenty of laughs, as she always speaks her mind.

Viewers will recognise Doris from her many iconic roles on Australian TV. Doris starred as Youla Fatoush in Heartbreak High, Moira Doyle in McLeod’s Daughters, Paula Doumani in Party Tricks and Sasha in The Wrong Girl.

Hugh Sheridan and Kate Jenkinson as Lachlan and Melanie Best

Lachlan is one of the original five to move in to the home, and is Ainsley’s co-worker and love interest.

He’s currently going through a complicated “split” from his wife Melanie, played by Kate Jenkinson, and looks set to break poor Ainsley’s heart. Lachlan is the absolute worst, but you can read more about that here.

Hugh is known for his roles as Ben Rafter in Packed to the Rafters and Nick in House Husbands. Kate is another Offspring alum, who’s also currently starring in smash-hit Wentworth.

Kumud Merani as Harry’s mum Manju

Beloved SBS anchor and radio producer Kumud stars as Harry’s mum, Manju.

Kumud is an award-winning Executive Producer of SBS Radio Hindi and she was the first female anchor of an Asian background on SBS Worlds News. She also had a role in the 2015 film UNindian.
