“It’s probably the hardest I’ve ever worked on something, just because there was so much technical stuff to learn,” Peacocke told TV Week.
The previous season of the Seven Network hit show was released in 2021 as a reboot of the 1993 spin-off series R.F.D.S., with the latest iteration being acclaimed by both old and new fans alike.
