Conceived by Bevan Lee for Seven Network, “A Place to Call Home” is an Australian period drama television series that was released on 28 April 2013.
“Starring Marta Dusseldorp and Noni Hazlehurst and set in rural Australia in the 1950s, A Place to Call Home is a sweeping drama of one woman’s journey to heal her soul and of a privileged family’s confrontation with a changing era. A romantic saga based in the fictional town of Inverness – home to the Bligh family estate Ash Park – with a landscape as vast and dramatic as the people who live there.”
“A Place to Call Home” has been undeniably depicted as a “compelling melodrama about love and loss set against the social change of the 1950s”. The show spanned a total of six seasons and sadly, fans will not see the seventh season as it was officially cancelled. Here’s what we know about season 7 of A Place to Call Home.
Why Season 7 of A Place to Call Won’t Happen?
As we have mentioned above, “A Place to Call Home” season 7 will not happen because it was cancelled. The show was originally axed after its second season, but it luckily received further funding and ended successfully in 2018 after the sixth season.
Here’s the list of episodes for season six:
- Episode 1: For Better or Worse
- Episode 2: Salt of the Earth
- Episode 3: Darkness and Light
- Episode 4: Against the Tide
- Episode 5: Look Not in My Eyes
- Episode 6: Staring Down the Barrel
- Episode 7: New Adventures
- Episode 8: Autumn Affairs
- Episode 9: Life Longs for Itself
- Episode 10: Reaching Home
Although canceled by Seven Network after two seasons, the show was picked up by Foxtel and commissioned for season three, and later released for up to six seasons.
But dissimilar to its first termination, the sixth season’s conclusion was entirely satisfying and what the fans have been wanting to see.
A Place to Call Home Season 7 Release Date
Because there won’t be a season 7 of A Place to Call Home, expecting an official release date doesn’t make sense. The show came to a close with its sixth season’s finale on October 21, 2018.

“I promise to bring the show to its finale on a wave of tears, laughter and most importantly, closure.”

“It was imperative for us that the series retain its integrity and that we would bring the series to a close at its natural story point and that is what everyone who loves the show can expect,” he asserts.
Further adding: “The series will be long remembered for its captivating narrative, outstanding performances and world-class production values.”
Star David Berry who portrays James Bligh shared a post on Instagram with a caption that says: “By now, we all know this is going to be the last season of @aptch and I’m proud to say that James will return in season 6 to be a part of this final chapter,” he expresses.
