Housos

Housos is a TV show on SBS ONE. Housos is an Australian comedy series written for television, and created and directed by the well-known Australian filmmaker Paul Fenech (Swift and Shift Couriers, Housos vs. Authority). The show is a parody of the daily lives of low income Australians living in Housing Commission public housing, in the fictional suburb Sunnyvale. It is said to be inspired by the Canadian series Trailer Park Boys.

Eventually the parodied take on life in public housing was accepted and the show went on to win several awards and nominations, including an Australian Writers' Guid Award nomination in the category Comedy (Situation or Narrative) and a Logie Award in 201 for Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program. The popular program has been available since 2022. A total of 10 episodes have been broadcast, most recently in September 2022.
