Australia's smash hit Bump is returning to Stan with a huge twist in Season 4
Stan has announced that production has commenced for Season 4 of the Logie and AACTA-nominated Stan Original Series Bump.
The series has been a cornerstone for original programming on Stan, and the new season is currently filming in Sydney and will jump forward in time once again.
Steam every episode of Bump, only on Stan.
Now finding their feet in the world as full-grown adults, Oly (Nathalie Morris) and Santi (Carlos Sanson Jr) are trying to stabilise their small family unit with their challenging daughter Jacinda.
Meanwhile, the new season finds Vince (Ioane Sa'ula), Talia (Henrietta Amevor) and Ariel (Matilda Ridgway) finding their own stride with toddler Malik too, although the involvement of Reema (Safia Arain) as sort-of-half-step-mum has complicated things a little – especially since she has no interest in having kids herself.
Oly's first proper job finds her on a steep learning curve with her difficult boss Shauna who expects Oly to be available 24/7.
Meanwhile, Santi struggles to redefine his masculinity as Jacinda's primary carer and no longer the primary breadwinner.
Season 4 also finds Angie (Claudia Karvan) clinging to the climate crisis as a distraction from her recent heartbreak, putting her at loggerheads once more with Rosa (Paula Garcia) whose growing restaurant empire seems far from sustainable.
As the chaos of life shows no signs of settling down, our characters are forced to confront the question: how do you find hope and joy in the midst of an existential crisis?
Season 3 of Bump featured a four year time jump from the events of Season 2.
Season 4 has also announced to feature another time jump of two years. Baby Jacinda is no longer a baby, and is now a grown 7 year old.

Season four will be directed by Geoff Bennett (Stan Original Series Wolf Creek, Bump), Margie Beattie (Stan Original Series Bump, Rebecca O'Brien (Stan Original Series Bump S3, The Unlisted) and Ismail Khan (Barrumbi Kids).
Bump has proven to be a phenomenal hit internationally in addition to domestically, with broadcast deals with the CW Network (US), BBC (UK), ProSieben (Germany) and CBC (Canada) among many others.
"Personally, I still struggle to get my head around the fact that [the show's] gone international, and I really think it did have a massive impact on The CW," Sanson Jr told 9Entertainment.
"I have family over in America that would send photos, because the show was in a primetime spot on The CW."
