Home and Away’s Kate Ritchie returns to the screen!
But Kate is finally returning to acting!
During its Upfronts event, Channel Seven announced that Kate will star alongside Erik Thompson, Ryan Johnson, Catherine Văn-Davies and Aaron Glenane in an upcoming series, The Claremont Murders.
The Claremont Murders will be a two-part miniseries telling the story of one of Australia’s most notorious crimes and will air in 2023.
Kate shared her excitement about the series on Instagram and wrote, “What a humbling experience to work on this production.”
She also shared a synopsis for the upcoming investigative drama.
“[The Claremont Murders] explores how the disappearance of three young women in Perth in the late 1990s launched a 25-year investigation by the police and one tenacious journalist.”
At this stage, it’s not yet been announced which role Kate is playing in The Claremont Murders, so stay tuned!
The news of Kate’s long-awaited return to acting comes just days after she announced she was taking a break from her popular radio show, Nova’s Kate, Tim & Joel, which she co-hosts with Tim Blackwell and Joel Creasey.
Kate explained her decision in great detail on Instagram, and wrote “As some of you may have heard from me on the show today, this past year has been hectic for my family and I. I have had much change, like many of you, in a short space of time and it has taken its toll.”
“So I’ve made the decision to take a short break to have more time for myself and my family to re-energise. I am so proud that our Nova show, with Tim and Joel and the team, is just powering along, going from strength to strength. We love you, our listeners and you seem to put up with us!”
The break is only temporary though as Kate concluded her Instagram post by saying she’d return to radio next year.
“I will return to Nova’s Kate, Tim & Joel Drive Show in the New Year. Thank you to the team, to Nova and to all of our fabulous listeners for your support and understanding. Although it’s only going to be for a short time, I will miss you all.”
In the meantime, Ricki-Lee Coulter will replace Kate on Nova’s radio show.
