NOVA Entertainment today announced a major expansion of its content offering with the launch of Bush Deep<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>the network\u2019s first-ever video-led series, created in collaboration with comedian Nikki Osborne<\/strong> and premiering on Tuesday, May 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch signals NOVA\u2019s first step into video-first original storytelling, extending the network\u2019s audio offering into a highly scalable, multi-platform format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new weekly comedy series is hosted by Osborne\u2019s alter ego and social media sensation \u2018Bushie\u2019, with 30-minute episodes premiering on Osborne\u2019s own YouTube channel, alongside the audio version available on all podcast platforms via the Nova Podcast Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bushie is already a recognisable figure in her own right and, for many fans, even more familiar than Osborne herself. Wildly Australian, completely unfiltered and unapologetically bold, the character has even been compared to \u2018Crocodile Dundee\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bush Deep<\/em> follows Bushie as she travels across Australia in search of a good yarn, sitting down with celebrities and everyday legends alike. With equal parts chaos and charm, Bushie asks the questions no one else would dare to\u2026and always with tongue planted firmly in cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boasting an online following of more than one million fans, Bushie brings her signature irreverence to a stellar lineup of guests throughout the series, including Larry Emdur, Manu Feildel, Steph Tolev, Colin Fassnidge, Osher Gunsberg and Colin Mochrie. No one is safe from her unique, hilarious brand of interrogation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Osborne, \u201cIt\u2019s my absolute dream to pick up where Dame Edna and Croc Dundee left off and now that I\u2019ve got a powerful machine like NOVA behind me, well shoot, we might have a shot. Being the first video-led project with NOVA is a huge nod of respect and a responsibility I don\u2019t take lightly. I\u2019ve convinced a lot of execs that I know what I\u2019m doing and now I have to prove it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Network Director of Nova Podcasts Rachel Corbett said, \u201cBush Deep<\/em> is a really exciting step for us as we start to build out video-first originals alongside audio. Nikki has created a character people genuinely love, so we\u2019re looking forward to expanding that across platforms. Bushie is loose, chaotic and very funny, but Nikki\u2019s always in control and that balance is what makes it so watchable. We can\u2019t wait to see where this show goes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikki Osborne is an Australian comedian, actor, producer, content creator, national columnist and ratings-winning Nova radio host.
