SYNOPSIS:

Mick O’Malley, a 35-year-old Irish-Australian dad, is a mess—divorced, unfit, and hoarding snacks after his ex-wife Marie moves on with flashy Jason. Flattened by kids at his daughter Ava’s soccer game, Mick’s roped into an over-35s team by Kieran, a fit dad with a heart of gold. At his first practice, Mick’s wild kick sends teammate Dash behind a shed—where he tragically dies, uniting the squad in grief. Driven by Dash’s legacy and Ava’s pride, Mick faces a brutal season opener, scoring a penalty with help from stat-obsessed Dave and newbie Freddie. But as Marie and Ava leave with Jason, Mick’s triumph turns bittersweet. Kicking On is a 30-minute comedy-drama series following Mick’s clumsy quest for redemption, where every goal on the pitch brings him closer to winning back his family—and himself.
