Chris Lilley Drops Hints: Is Summer Heights High’s Mr G Making a Comeback?

Australian TV News

Australian comedian Chris Lilley has sparked speculation among fans by posting cryptic clips online that suggest a possible return for his popular character, Mr G, the drama teacher from Summer Heights High.

Here’s the Lowdown: Lilley shared two short, captionless videos on his Instagram account. The first showed Mr G’s signature pink medicine ball bouncing before settling on a chair. The second featured footage resembling Mr G’s distinctive walk, again ending with the ball on the chair. Mr G was one of several characters Lilley portrayed in the 2007 mockumentary series.

What This Means Now: While no official announcement has been made, these posts strongly point towards a new project featuring the over-the-top drama teacher. Fans of Lilley’s work are actively discussing the possibility online, anticipating what a Mr G return might look like years after Summer Heights High.

The Bigger Picture: Lilley has kept a low profile since his 2019 series Lunatics. Summer Heights High aired for only one season but gained a substantial following. A revival of the Mr G character would mark Lilley’s return to acting and potentially revisit one of his most recognized creations after a significant break.
