Everyone can breath out now.

After 12 months without a single new episode of the ABC’s favourite advertising show, Wil Anderson, Russel Howcroft and Todd Sampson will return to the spin in The Gruen Transfer in 2015.

The national broadcaster has released its programming schedule, which will see the return of Gruen, Working Dog comedy Utopia, Josh Thomas’ Emmy-nominated Please Like Me, Indigenous drama Redfern Now and the Sampson-led Redesign My Brain.

Shows that appear to be teetering include Annabelle Crabb’s Kitchen Cabinet and Tom Ballard’s Reality Check, which only recently went to air.

ABC’s director of TV Richard Finlayson told Mumbrella that a final decision on Kitchen Cabinet and Reality Check had yet to be made.

“Annabel is on-air at the moment we will wait and see how the rest of the series goes and then we’ll make decisions about that next year,” Mr Finlayson said.

“We also haven’t made a call on (Reality Check) we’ll return to that in the new year.”

Perennial ABC stalwart Shaun Micallef has a new show, The Ex-PM, which sees him playing a former prime minister trying to remain relevant post politics.

And after leaving Ten Network’s The Project, Charlie Pickering returns to Auntie with a new comedy series.

Drama includes an adaptation of Kate Grenville’s best-selling book The Secret River, as well as a contemporary remaking of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina in The Beautiful Lie.

The ABC will also celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the ANZAC’s with several documentaries.
