Season two sees Jack Dawkins under increasing pressure in Port Victory, hunted by Inspector Boxer and dragged into another high stakes scheme with Fagin.
As Belle pushes forward in medicine, mounting personal tension and a spreading threat across the colony place their already fragile relationship under strain.
Created by James McNamara, who serves as writer and executive producer, the series is produced by Curio Pictures for Disney+ in partnership with Sony Pictures Television.
Jo Porter and Rachel Gardner return as executive producer and producer, with Cameron Welsh producing and direction shared between Ben Young, Ben C Lucas and Gracie Otto.
New characters expand the world of Port Victory as loyalties shift and the consequences of Jack’s past begin to close in.
