The violent skinheads of Romper Stomper are set to terrorise Australia once again, as they take to the streets in a new six-part miniseries for Stan.

Geoffrey Wright, the writer-director of the controversial 1992 film that helped make Russell Crowe a star, will revisit the violent neo-Nazi scene he depicted so unflinchingly 25 years ago, writing and directing two of the episodes.

Some key cast members will return too, though Crowe, whose character, Hando, died at the end of the film, is not among them.

"Someone suggested bringing him back, but we weren't going to do that," the director said on Monday. "I'm not interested in a parallel universe where characters who are dead come back to life."
