Episode 1: Outcast - Gustaf, the Devil in filmmaker form, ensnares a new team member in The Void's eternal development hell, replacing Lu as lead actress and creating a powerless enemy.

S1.E2 ∙ Write Club

Thu, Oct 24, 2019

We've followed up Episode 1 with Episode 2!!! You've got to stay in your toes with us! Let this synopsis tantalize you... Episode 2: Write Club - Kacy guilt-gifts Lu into a week-long acting workshop with Olivia Olivier, your typical acting workshop teacher: greed before qualifications. Simultaneously, Fex switches to a cult-ernate lifestyle upon meeting Typer Wurden, the mysterious, familiar-looking and possibly imaginary leader of an underground, gender-biased literature army. In the C plot, Milly is tasked with collecting "unique sounds" and winds up uniquely sound-sensitive. You heard it here first. So did she, even though it's written text and therefore silent.

S1.E3 ∙ What the Howl

Thu, Oct 31, 2019

Episode tres! - deliberately horror-themed to coincide with #Halloween . (To be honest, this was a total coincide-ence. Thank you, forces of evil! Episode 3: What The Howl - Ed's dogphobia gets a workout when Gustaf dumps his son's leg-loving dog Humper on the sharehouse. At the same time, in an effort to familiarise the underlings with the Void's new horror genre, Gustaf sets out to prank-scare the living bejeepers out of them. Could one of these prosaic storylines beget actual horror? Yes. And it's obviously the first one. Spoiler.

S1.E4 ∙ Date Night

Thu, Nov 07, 2019

Love has been released into the air like so much weaponized hallucinogen. That's right - I'm typing about Episode 4 of The Void: Rebooted - "Date Night" - The biggest, and some would say, the longest. But the meaning is identical. Episode 4: Date Night - Gustaf now wants the Void to be a fem-friendly romance and sets up the gang on six individual blind dates to fan the flames of passion within the frigid wastelands of their hearts. But is he doing them l'amour harm than good? Well, as you can probably guess, all six dates unfold successfully and completely without incident. PSYCH!!!

S1.E5 ∙ Film Nwah

Thu, Nov 14, 2019

The fifth episode of The Void: Rebooted is available for public ridicule! Don't believe it? Well it's all there in black and white. (and some colour bookends) Episode 5: Film Nwah - The colour literally drains from Fex's face (and from everything) when Gustaf threatens to reshoot 18 years' worth of footage in black and white to appeal to colour-blind Academy voters. When a priceless piece of plastic goes missing, Fex adopts a private detective attitude, attire and erratic accent to investigate his five suspicious housemates and solve the kind of mystery that wouldn't even make page 12 of a Rockhampton primary school newsletter.

S1.E6 ∙ Boot Kampf

Thu, Nov 21, 2019

Battle stations! In the thrilling (not a guarantee) final episode of The Void: Rebooted, Gustaf now wants his production to be a war movie. And knowing his method approach, the first step is probably to invade Poland. Episode 6: Boot Kampf - Lieutenant General Gustaf decides the Void is now a war movie and that his hapless crew needs to suffer through a torturous, week-long boot camp to acclimatise themselves with the horrors that man can do unto man, or in this case, that Gustaf can do unto them. As the gang covertly devises a not-remotely-great escape, one question arises in this synopsis: can everyone in their platoon be trusted? Now you know not everyone in their platoon can be trusted.
