Packed to the Rafters to say goodbye:

Sixth season will be it’s last

Channel Seven has confirmed the Logie Award-winning drama, Packed To the Rafters will finish this year.

“The cast, writers and producers have always said that we wanted to keep Rafters as one of the most-watched shows on TV,” Rebecca Gibney, who plays matriarch Julie Rafter, tells TV WEEK.

With multiple cast exits over the past few seasons denting the show’s momentum, the 48-year-old actress says, “If we ever felt like we were losing too many cast members, we needed to end on a high.”

“We can say that season six winds up an aspect of the Rafter family and there is a sense of finality to it. We’ve said our goodbyes.”

Packed To The Rafters certainly looks set to exit on a high, with confirmation that fan favourites Hugh Sheridan, Jessica Marais and James Stewart will all return for the two-hour finale, scheduled to air in July.

It is sad to see a show relatable to its main audience go! :(

I think its silly they are finishing it when it averages such high audiences and is loved by all! However i agree it should finish with a bang and if that must be on the 6th season then that what it will be!

Australia will miss the series and be forever loving to the fact it made us feel as though we were apart of the rafter gang.

We will miss you!
