Despite it being over a decade since the last episode of Kath & Kim aired, demand has reached fever pitch for a reboot of the iconic comedy after the series was recently picked up by Netflix.

Speaking to TV Week in September, Magda said she’s received ‘a lot of reaction’  from people since it debuted on the streaming giant.
