🐴Son of a Donkey (2025) – Netflix’s Wild Australian Comedy from the Superwog Creators: Cast, Plot, Release Date & Streaming Guide

Adulthood is never easy. But when your family is chaotic, your job is soul-crushing, and your anger issues land you in court-ordered therapy, life gets a whole lot messier. That’s the premise of Son of a Donkey, the brand-new Netflix comedy series from Theo and Nathan Saidden, the comedic masterminds behind Superwog. The six-episode series premieres October 30, 2025, only on Netflix.

😂 Growing Pains, Aussie Style

The series follows Theo as he finally leaves home, ready to embrace independence. But adulthood quickly proves brutal — from unpaid fines and dodgy bosses to rage-fuelled outbursts that land him in therapy. Meanwhile, his dying dad has a mission of his own: finding a kidney at any cost.

As Theo schemes to save his impounded car and fend off adulthood disasters, his best friend Johnny joins in the madness, leading to scams, absurd encounters, and therapy sessions that are anything but ordinary.

👉 Think Superwog — but bigger, wilder, and even more unhinged.
