We've just had our first look at the 'Packed to the Rafters' revival and one star is not returning!

At the end of last year, fans of Packed to the Rafters were celebrating after it was announced the cast of the series would be reuniting to revive the beloved show.

However, unfortunately, one fan favourite won't be returning for Back to the Rafters.

Jessica Marais, who played Rachel Rafter, pulled out of the project last month citing "personal reasons" as the cause of her sudden departure from filming.

Today, Amazon announced Georgina Haig will be taking on the role with a behind-the-scenes photo of her alongside original cast members Hugh Sheridan (Ben) and Angus McLaren (Nathan).

Rebecca Gibney (Julie), Erik Thomson (Dave), Michael Caton (Ted Taylor) and George Houvardas (Nick Karandonis) will also be returning for the reboot.

Other additional newcomers to the series include HaiHa Le, Libby Tanner, Rose Riley, Aaron McGrath, Bruce Spence, Willow Speers and Kaspar Frost.

Packed to the Rafters ran for six years until July 2013, and the new season will pick up where the old one left off.

In the newly scripted series, Dave and Julie have created a new life in the country with their youngest daughter Ruby, while the older Rafter children face new challenges and Grandpa Ted struggles to find his place.

As Dave enjoys his new found freedom, Julie must reconcile her responsibilities to the family. They might not be under the same roof, but the same honesty, love and laughter bonds them more tightly now than ever before.
