The hit series received a standout debut that captivated audiences across Australia and overseas, including strong viewership on BBC1 in the UK and Hulu in the US. It was the most-streamed series on Binge in both March and April 2024 following the launch of Season 1.
High Country: What Lies Beneath continues BINGE’s commitment to delivering premium Australian drama that resonates globally, and shines a spotlight on Australian culture, landscapes and stories.
Leah Purcell star and Executive Producer said:
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be back with the team for Season 2 of High Country! I can’t wait to bring this much-anticipated new chapter to audiences around the world. With fresh storylines cleverly crafted, superb new talent joining the cast, and haunting questions finally answered — what more could you want from a second season?”
Actor Brendan Cowell said:
“You never miss a chance to mix it with the great Leah Purcell. And the reach High Country has achieved across the world is a credit to the team. The show really knows itself and I can’t wait to be a part of the Aussie gothicness.”
Season two sees Andie drawn into a case far more dangerous and personal than she ever imagined. It will test her loyalties and challenge everything she thought she knew about herself, her community and the High Country she calls home.
Filming is once again taking place amid the breathtaking Victorian Alps, with locations across Jamieson, Mansfield, Eildon and greater Melbourne capturing the region’s dramatic beauty and spirit.
