The announcement sent fans into overdrive, and for many, it proved too much as they were soon lamenting how far away the release date is. One wrote: "Ah man, why does the wait have to be so long!"

Another wrote: "A two hour premiere? Well, now I'm excited. Is it November yet?" and a third added: "It's too early for me to be this excited!!! It's close yet so far away."

On top of all that, Jacki Weaver will also be back and Mo Brings Plenty and Wendy Moniz, who have been recurring on the show since the start, have been promoted to series regulars for the new season.
