The first episode of Season 4, Breakdown, saw viewing figures of 9.5 million, the highest in the show's history. After the first series of 13 episodes completed its run on August 4, 2007, Channel 12 announced that the show had been renewed for a second season. All major cast members were signed for 13 new episodes. The second season of Martin Hall was due to begin airing in April 2008. However, on February 5, Channel 12 elected to begin the run early after the writers' strike in the United States disrupted the scheduled resumption of imported programming. The airdate for the first episode of Season 2 was moved from April 5 to February 16. Veteran actor Ross Rann and actress/comedienne Lucy Bishop joined the permanent cast for Season 2, playing the President's press secretary and parliamentary liason respectively. In Season 3, the cast was further expanded with the addition of Pattie Booth, who had already appeared in several episodes as a guest star. The show's fourth season completed its expanded run of seventeen episodes on January 24, 2010. It will be followed in May by a four-hour miniseries. The show's producers have not stated if the show will recieve a fifth season.
