Published On

January 13, 2025

Get ready for the ultimate Home and Away catch up streaming with the new 2025 season now airing on Seven and 7plus.

The second longest drama series in Australia, Home and Away premiered with a ninety minute pilot episode on the Seven Network in 1988.

It has since become a television staple, and testament to its success is its global reach, having been broadcast in over eighty countries around the world.

Home and Away follows the residents of the fictional seaside town of Summer Bay in New South Wales as they navigate life and love and deal with tragedies and heartbreaks in between.

Currently in Season 38, find out how to watch Home and Away catch up episodes using this guide.

New episodes air Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7. You can watch Channel 7 shows for free without having to worry about monthly subscriptions or contracts on free to air.

New Home and Away episodes air on Channel 7 from 13 January! Check out the trailer for the 2025 season below:

In the beginning, Home and Away focused on the Fletcher family, Tom (Roger Oakley) and Pippa (Vanessa Downing), and their five foster children – Frank Morgan (Alex Papps), Carly Morris (Sharyn Hodgson), Lynn Davenport (Helena Bozich), Steven Matheson (Adam Willits) and Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) – who relocated from the city and moved into the Summer Bay House.

Starting anew at their foster home, they worked at the caravan park while adapting to their new lives. The Fletcher family later took in a sixth foster child, Bobby Simpson (Nicolle Dickson), expanding their family.

While Home and Away tends to highlight family life and issues surrounding foster children such as teenage problems, the soap opera doesn’t shy away from exploring heavier themes.

Being on television for over three decades, Home and Away has also seen main characters come and go. Currently, Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher) is the only remaining original cast member who’s still on the show, although some of the previous main cast members have returned to star in special episodes.

In the latest 2025 season, we’ll also meet new Home and Away characters, including Mark Townsend, played by Craig Hall. He plays a detective investigating the attack on Tim Russell (George Pullar). Then there’s Sonny (Ryan Brown), Remi Carter’s friend and Lacey (Sophea Pennington), a newbie in Summer Bay.
