Let’s see what the cast was up to this past weekend! Looks like lots of parties, and lots of well-wishes… And one possibly-naked Rhys Darby… 🤔

Samba and Buttons gesture happily towards a fryer. Text says: "Just 2 Dutch boys making oliebollen. Happy New Year from the future!"
Samba posts a collage of his 2022 memories. Text reads: "2022, you’ve been good to me. Yes there were funerals, health issues and constant world crisis. But there were pockets of unforgettable and new experiences. Windows of bliss, breezes of wins. Thank you for those. For family visits, friends old and new. Never thought I’d make an orange cake go viral. Or be on Celebrity Family Feud. Or end up in New Zealand. Thank you for the reminder that anything is possible, and that the best surprises can be right around the corner. That things can drastically change in a month, mostly for the better. And that staying true to yourself is all that matters✨ I wish for 2023 to be beautiful, peaceful, healthy, adventurous and prosperous for all. Thank you loved ones for all your support. I am grateful. Happiest of New Years. We got this🙏🏾❤️"

David walks a dog on a small road, rolling hills in the background. Text reads: "Thank you for all the love thrown my way yesterday!!! Have a great 2023 all may it be filled with massively large doses of the good stuff and a smidge of the bad to remind you that you’re human and have the ability to rise above it on your own or with the help of other awesome humans or dogs. Not cats though they scare the shit outta me. 🍸🍾🥂💫🌟✨🐈‍⬛"
Three of David's friends are walking their dogs along a sandy beach, a very tall grassy hill in the background. Text reads simply: "HNY"

Lots of the cast and crew were seen celebrating Christmas, or were seen at a holiday party of some kind this weekend. Here’s a roundup of all their well wishes and shenanigans!

Rhys looks at the camera with resignation as his son Theo smiles goofily behind him, pointing at a lock of Rhys' hair that has been shoved under the bridge of his glasses. Overlay text says: "Theo messing with my hair"
Rhys is a good dad.
Rhys' son Theo stands on the front porch, wearing a Christmas-themed suit. It has horizontal stripes of alternating red and green with Christmas trees and snowflakes on it. (It's fabulous.) Text caption reads: "Meri kirihimete from Aotearoa!"
