Production

On 7 August 2012, it was announced that Seven has renewed Winners & Losers for a third season to air in 2013.[2]

Julie McGauran, the head of Drama at Seven stated, "2013 is going to be a landmark year for Channel Seven's drama department. Our drama slate is at full capacity with the return of Winners & Losers as well as Packed to the Rafters, Home and Away and the new drama A Place to Call Home."[2] Filming for the third season began on 24 September 2012 and wrapped on 4 July 2013.[1]

Of the series, Melanie Vallejo told Scott Gavin from TV Week, "the show has evolved quite a bit. It's not just about four girls anymore. Each of their four worlds has become bigger and more complicated."[3] Of the return of the third series, Erin Millar from the same publication wrote, "there's plenty of love in the air, but this season won't be all about romance."[4]

Script producer, Dan Bennett confirmed that there are 26 episodes in season three.[5][6]
