Chris Lilley to keep pushing boundaries after Ja'mie King The first clip from Chris Lilley's new comedy, Ja'mie: Private School Girl has been released online. Chris Lilley's latest series Ja'mie: Private School Girl will air on the ABC tonight. Chris Lilley as Ja'mie in his new series. AT almost 40, Chris Lilley admits it can be a little weird playing a narcissistic schoolgirl, but if the comedian gets his way hell be pushing the boundaries even further as he enters middle age. The writer and actor will return to Australian television screens tonight in his latest show Ja'mie: Private School Girl, a six-part series that follows his infamously haughty creation of Hillford Girls Grammar school captain Ja'mie King, 17, through her final months of Year 12. Lilley says it will be a relief to have the show on air, and is already toying with five ideas for his next project. "There are millions of characters (I'd like to play) but (there's) not enough time," Lilley told The Australian. I want to go even younger than Jonah (a Year 8 Tongan school boy from his previous series Angry Boys) and even older than Gran (grandmother of twins Daniel and Nathan Sims in the same series). I always feel every show gets better and takes it up another level. It would be fun to just really push it. I love doing different races and genders, I would never limit myself. Lilley has been playing Ja'mie since 2005, when she debuted on local screens in his popular mockumentary We Can Be Heroes, as one of a group of Australian of the Year finalists. Despite playing a range of characters, the actor says he's never considered his own age a problem. I was playing Ja'mie and Jonah a few years ago and I don't feel I'm physically frail now. I'm not contemplating "I'll never be able to dance again,"" he said. I don't think too far ahead, I've got a plan for the next six months but I'll just do whatever I want (after that). Sydney had its first taste of an older and perhaps not-so-wiser Ja'mie earlier in the week when Lilley, in character, paraded around exclusive private girls" schools on the city's north shore taking Instagram photos. As the creator of the show, Lilley spent little face-to-face time with teenage girls when researching for Ja'mie, but said he was "quite aware of that world" through personal experience (he went to Sydney's prestigious Barker College), TV shows and Facebook. Lilley will tour the show - a co-production with US network HBO - through American colleges in the coming months after it launches there in November, and will head to Britain next year. Previous series Summer Heights High (2007) and Angry Boys (2011) received wide acclaim from both audiences. "Australian people like to think it's their thing and they say "Americans don't get it" but they really do," Lilley said. Maybe there's something universal about comedy and also I think they (the Americans and British) love the idea that it's this uniquely Australian thing and there are funny accents. Though Ja'mie's character is callous and demanding, Lilley says he is fond of the part and joked he'd want any future daughter to resemble her. "If (my daughter) looked like Ja'mie I'd be pretty happy so that's something to look forward to," he said. I'd know how to deal with her, I wouldn't put up with what Ja'mie gets away with. Ja'mie: Private School Girl premieres on ABC1 at 9pm tonight.
