3 June 2026
Do Not Watch This Show Season 2

The ABC, Screen Australia and VicScreen are thrilled to announce that Do Not Watch This Show Season 2 launches at 6.00am on Friday 3 July on ABC iview and 7.30pm on Monday 6 July on ABC Family.

The animated series, adapted from Andy Lee’s bestselling book series Do Not Open This Book, broke viewing records last year with the biggest launch of a new Children and Family show in the history of ABC iview*.

Season 2 sees the return of Wizz, a blue monster who is determined to stop the show in its tracks. Still refusing to accept that he is the star of the show, Wizz goes to more extreme lengths to get kids to switch off. Wizz and his friends embark on exciting new adventures including visits from intergalactic creatures and travelling back in time.

Andy Lee returns as the voice of Wizz, alongside an all-star voice cast featuring Denise Scott, Joel Creasey, Kura Forrester and Dave Hughes.

Catch up on Season 1 of Do Not Watch This Show on ABC iview now.

Production credit: Do Not Watch This Show Season 2 is a Lee Bones Production for ABC. Major production funding from the ABC and Screen Australia. Financed in association with VicScreen. Directed by Patrick Crawley. Series Producer Nick Campbell. Line Producer Megan Brock. Written by Andy Lee, Jason Marion and Ray Matsen. Designed by Heath McKenzie.
