Tissues at the ready! Australia's most beloved TV family reunite in the first trailer for Packed to the Rafters reboot.
It's been seven long years since the Rafter family departed our telly screens, but fans have finally been given a taste of what's to come with a trailer for the new series, Back to the Rafters.
The story picks up six years after the Packed To The Rafters season finale - making the timeline almost consistent with the real-life wait - and centres around a city reunion with the whole family.
"Dave and Julie have created a new life in the country with youngest daughter Ruby, while the older Rafter children face new challenges and Grandad Ted struggles to find his place," explains the show's description on IMDB. "As Dave enjoys his new-found freedom, Julie must reconcile her responsibilities to the family."
Erik Thomson, Rebecca Gibney, Hugh Sheridan, Angus McLaren and Michael Caton will all reprise their original roles, however Jess Marais, who played Rachel, will not be returning.
The six-part series will premiere on Amazon Prime on Fri September 17, 2021.

Yep, you can buy a Healthy Harold beanie and socks so your love for the giraffe puppet won't ever die.
Transport yourself back to sitting in a dark van in your school parking lot because there's nothing like some strong nostalgia feels to wipe those world-pandemic blues away, right?
Right now, you can snatch up a Limited Edition Healthy Harold Beanie for $29.50 or Limited Edition Healthy Harold Socks for $21.00, both "perfect for Healthy Harold fans of all ages."
"Stand out from the crowd with Healthy Harold’s limited edition beanie," the description reads. "Made with love by Australia’s most loveable giraffe for happy, healthy kids and grown-ups too."
If there's a giant giraffe-shaped hole in your childhood and you don't even know who Healthy Harold is, listen up.
It sounds creepy, but he was the lovable puppet that taught us about drugs and alcohol in the back of a spray-painted caravan on a random plot in the schoolyard. Healthy Harold has been an integral part of Australian education since 1979, empowering children through health education. He did have a one-year hiatus last year, but is thankfully back in action.
Students are being taught how to make safe and healthier choices in life, with the help of a familiar face - on top of a long neck. @LifeEdAus's Healthy Harold the Giraffe made a return to class today, after a year-long hiatus. https://t.co/dSgFbimyWe @frankrusso85 #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/v6DMXVMKQl

There is still some debate around whether the informative giraffe was referred to as Happy or Healthy Harold, and while we were certain it was the former it turns out Happy Harold was never his official name. Life Education explains, "In true Australian fashion, 'Happy' Healthy Harold could be considered a nickname. Rest assured, when you love what you do as much as Harold does, you're always be happy!".

A sheep farmer who was unable to attend his aunt's funeral due to travel restrictions has created a heartwarming video using his sheep to create a farewell message as a tribute.
Benjamin Jackson, from Guyra, NSW, was unable to attend his aunt’s funeral in Brisbane after she passed away after a two-year battle with cancer due to the current border lockdowns.
Jackson shared the video to his Instagram with the caption, "I made this for my Aunty Deb. We said goodbye yesterday. I hope you had a peep down and saw this from up there. Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel was one of her favourite tunes."
The one-minute video is played with the soundtrack of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water’ which was one of his aunt’s favourite songs. It begins with an aerial shot of a herd of sheep and as the drone flies over, the sheep gather into the formation of a love heart.
Jackson told The Guardian it took three or four attempts but once he saw the final product, he said there were waterworks. The video was sent to his family in Brisbane where it was played at his aunt’s funeral.
He told The Guardian, “It was very lovely to have it as part of a sendoff. It was certainly something that she would have loved and absolutely cherished.”
As well as a sheep farmer, Jackson is also a DJ and Producer and goes by the name Electric Postman. The sheep farmer has previously used his sheep to create “sheep art" which you can watch below.
