Winner of the 2021 AACTA Award for Best Drama Series, The Newsreader's second season launched earlier this year to audience and critical acclaim.

The Newsreader Season 2 travels from election night 1987, through the shocks of the Hoddle Street shootings and the Stock Market Crash, the complexity of the heroin crisis, towards the protest and pageantry of the 1988 Bicentenary. As a nation grapples with its identity, its past and future, Helen and Dale reach a crossroads, and must settle on who they want to be, to each other, and to the world...

Join some of the cast and crew of this production (already renewed for a third season!) and hear stories from the set and behind the scenes.
