We can now confirm that Home and Away’s 2018 season finale will air in Australia as part of a triple episode on Thursday 13th December 2018.

As we’ve previously revealed, the episodes surrounding the finale and season return look set to feature a dramatic hostage situation, as well as some possible nuptials. For the full details, be sure to check out our 2018 Season Finale spoiler article.

As ever there, are a number of bulk episode airings to look out for as the show’s 30th anniversary year comes to a close. Whilst single episodes will air as normal on Mondays and Tuesdays, triple episodes are set to air on both Wednesday and Thursday for the final two weeks of the season:

Wednesday 5th December
Thursday 6th December
Wednesday 12th December
Thursday 13th December (finale)

Whilst still subject to last minute changes, a full rundown of the schedule, complete with episode synopses once available, can be seen on our Australian Spoilers page.

The season return date for 2019 is not yet known, and will likely not be announced by Seven until nearer the time.
