A decade old secret is about to catch up with Martin and Mandy, with fresh faces joining the next chapter of Scrublands as cameras roll on the hit Australian crime drama’s return.
Stan has unveiled the first look at Scrublands: Trust, confirming Lincoln Younes and Danielle Cormack have joined returning stars Luke Arnold and Bella Heathcote for the third season, now filming across Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Based on Chris Hammer’s bestselling novel Trust, the third season adapts the next instalment in the Martin Scarsden series, following Scrublands and Silver.

Arnold and Heathcote reprise their roles as investigative reporter Martin Scarsden and Mandy Bond, whose lives are thrown into turmoil when the discovery of Mandy’s former fiancé, Tom Molloy, reopens a decade old mystery surrounding the theft of $15 million.
As Martin investigates the apparent suicide of his longtime mentor Max Fuller, he uncovers a dangerous conspiracy stretching from Sydney’s back streets to the Blue Mountains, where corrupt developers, hired killers and powerful figures stand between him and the truth.
Younes stars as Tom Molloy, while Cormack joins the ensemble alongside returning cast members Sarah Roberts and Nicholas Bell.
