Look at moi...I said, look at moooooi...Now, I've got one word to say to you: 20th anniversary "Kath & Kim" special!

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a new one-off special is currently in the works to celebrate 20 years of the beloved and queer-fan-favorite Australian sitcom "Kath & Kim." Original stars Gina Riley, Jane Turner, Magda Szubanski, Glenn Robbins and Peter Rowsthorn are set to return.

The newspaper went on to report that though there is no broadcaster attached to the project just yet, the cast is "filming all week, recording new sketch material to sit alongside a selection of best-of and rare material." A number of networks, including Netflix, are all contenders to pick up the special.

"Kath & Kim" follows a mother and daughter – Kath Day-Knight (Turner) and Kim Craig (Riley) – in Fountain Lakes, a fictional suburb of Melbourne. It aired in Australia from 2002 to 2007 over four seasons and spawned a TV movie in 2005 called "Da Kath & Kim Code" and a feature film, "Kath & Kimderella," which was released in 2012. In 2008, an American version of the sitcom aired on NBC and starred Molly Shannon and Selma Blair but it was canceled after its first season.

"Kath & Kim" is currently streaming on Netflix in America.
