Aussie TikTok star Millie Ford will join the cast of Bump when it returns for season two later this month.
The popular Stan Original Series got a Boxing Day release date for its second season last month.
The cast will return with the addition of Ford, best-known for her viral TikTok impersonations of mums, shop assistants and stereotypical teachers on her account @milligram96.
According to Stan’s Facebook announcement, Ford is set to play a role we haven’t seen her tackle yet – the school librarian.
It looks like fans are keen for the collaboration.
“The only collab that matters!” one commented.
“Already loved this show, looking fwd to S2 even more now,” another wrote.

Ford has been keeping this secret under wraps for quite some time – filming for the second season began back in July.
In case you’ve missed season one, Bump is an Australia comedy-drama series created by Claudia Karvan and Kelsey Munro.
The series revolves around Olympia, an ambitious high-achieving high school student who unexpectedly falls pregnant, her baby daddy Santiago, and their respective families.
Karvan also produced and stars in the show.
Bump has been picked up by the BBC’s streaming service in the UK, and The CW in the USA.
A third series was confirmed while season two was still in production.
It will commence production in 2022.
Screen Australia Head of Content Sally Caplan said, “Not only has Bump proven enormously popular with viewers on Stan with its relatable characters and entertaining scripts, it also continues to provide great opportunities for emerging creatives to further their careers.
“We’re very proud to continue to support the talented team at Roadshow Rough Diamond to bring Seasons 2 and 3 to life together, and I look forward to seeing what’s in store for Oly, Santi and their families.”
