Housos is an Australian comedy television series created by Paul Fenech for SBS, that screens on SBS One. The series is a satirical parody of low income Australian residents of fictional suburb Sunnyvale, who are living in Housing Commission public housing. On 1 November 2012, a film based on the series was released in Australian cinemas, titled Housos vs. Authority. On 9 September 2012 it was announced that Housos would return for a second series, which premiered 22 July 2013.
COVID-19 has met its match. The beer drinking, bong smoking, burnout loving housos of Sunnyvale are back, and they are in lockdown. All the favourites return including Franky (Pauly Fenech), Shazza (Elle Dawe), Kev the Kiwi (Kev Taumtata), the chick with the bestest backside in Sunnyvale, Vanessa (Vanessa Davis) and many more familiar Sunnyvale faces. When the virus restrictions come in, the housos do all they can to break the rules.
Franky is immune from COVID-19 due to all the STIs he's had. Shazza prepares for her Zinder date, Franky films a porno in an ambulance, the junkies try out a virus cure, Kev mourns the loss of the footy season and the Housos break into Centerlink in search of pallets of cash.
When the government closes the bottle shops, Franky breaks into the courthouse in search of alcohol for a sober Kev and the other Housos. Franky sneaks Shazza out of the house for essential supples to get her through the lock-down — a new vibrator (and one for Vanessa too). Franky tells the Houses about the Raider of the Lost Dope. Shazza's up the duff to her daughter's boyfriend.
Franky panics when he wakes up next to Shazza's daughter. Holden and Jaydog go out for food for Kev's Hangi. Franky clears the obstruction when Kev clogs the bog then goes into the mountains in search of the junkie's gear. Holden learns she's pregnant.
Franky searches for a new place to stay after getting Holden pregnant (allegedly!). His ex wants him to get her drugs in order to stay with her so Franky and Kev break into Centerlink again. Clearing out the staff's booze and drugs, it's Christmas in July for all the Housos! Little Franky warn Franky against taking the new mandatory vaccine so he takes off with the police in pursuit.
