Mustangs FC is a goal kicking comedy drama about girls who are abandoning the sidelines and starting their local football club’s first all female team. Against the odds, they’ll stand united and overcome any challenge the club, the boys or the opposition can throw at them, all while wrestling with what it means to be a girl today.

This is the story of the team’s bid to get to the final of the divisional league and captain Marnie facing an uphill battle. Has she got what it takes to lead this rookie side through it’s first massive season? Time to girl up and see..

Tara and her friends are now seniors at the Academy and no one can forget for a second that the Company is watching.

It will be a nail-biting chase to the finish line to see who will be offered a contract and finally achieve what they have been working towards for so long… and who will have to find a new dream. If Second Year broke your heart, this is the year that will lift you up and prove it is in risking everything, failing spectacularly and then starting again, that you will become extraordinary.

Also catch: Bushwhacked! – Series 1, 4.32PM on NITV.

 

WEDNESDAY: Mortified on ABC iView

On the brink of adolescence, a girl’s got a lot to deal with; a changing body, a flood of hormones, relentless judgement by her peers, even perhaps the stirrings of a first, unrequited crush. In Mortified, Taylor Fry is confronted by the lot.

Although she’s a lively, smart-lipped kid with plenty of courage and attitude, the truth is she feels as if she doesn’t belong (and with a father known locally as “The Underpant King” who could blame her?) - but eventually Taylor must confront the truth – she is who she is. Mortified is a young girl’s journey towards self-acceptance.

Also catch: Bushwhacked! – Series 1, 4.32PM on NITV.


THURSDAY: Bushwhacked! – Series 1 on NITV
