In season three, Big Cuz (Deborah Mailman) starts to navigate some tricky adult responsibilities like captaining the rugby team, getting her pen licence' and proving she can take on the challenge of looking after her own dog. Little J (Miranda Tapsell) and best friend Levi (also played by Ursula Yovich) get up to more adventures on Country together, gaining invaluable knowledge about their culture and learning about the importance of having each other's backs in tricky situations. Friendly faces Nanna, Old Dog (Aaron Fa'Aoso) Uncle Mick (Mark Coles Smith) and Ms Chen (Renee Lim) also help guide Little J and Big Cuz along the way, as they find out more about their world and themselves, whether it's in the backyard, on Country or in the classroom.

NITV's Head of Commissioning and Programming, Kyas Hepworth, said: NITV is incredibly pleased to unveil the third season of Little J and Big Cuz. The positive impact that this show has on First Nation's children and the wider Australian community continues to grow with every season. It highlights the importance of providing a show in which all kids not only see themselves represented on TV but also relate and connect these stories to understanding our incredible culture. We hope that the third season of Little J and Big Cuz continues to entertain and inspire young audiences.
