Ten Pound Poms | Series 2 Preview (BBC One)

The series will see Michelle Keegan (Fool Me Once, Brassic), Faye Marsay (Game of Thrones, Black Mirror) and Warren Brown (The Responder, Luther) all set to reprise their roles.

Ten Pound Poms is written and created by the BAFTA award-winning Danny Brocklehurst (Fool Me Once, Ordinary Lies, Brassic) and is made by Eleven (Sex Education, Red Rose) for BBC One and iPlayer, in a co-production with Stan who air the series in Australia.

After a challenging first year in Australia, the new series will follow nurse Kate Thorne (Michelle Keegan) and the Roberts family (led by Faye Marsay and Warren Brown) into 1957 on their adventure down under, as they are determined to make this new country everything they hoped it would be for a fresh start. Will Kate, Terry and Annie finally get a slice of the Australian dream they were promised?

Series two will also introduce some exciting new characters, including the Skinner family, fresh off the boat from Ireland and the unscrupulous land-lord Benny Bates. But will these new characters bring some sunshine into our returning characters’ lives… or just more drama?

Also returning for series two alongside Michelle Keegan, Faye Marsay and Warren Brown are Australian actors Rob Collins (Mystery Road; Firebite) as Ron, Leon Ford (Elvis; The Light Between Oceans) as Bill, Declan Coyle (Long Black; Life Of Jess) as Stevie, Stephen Curry (Hounds Of Love; The Castle) as JJ.

Plus Hattie Hook (Savage River; Of An Age) as Pattie, Finn Treacy (The Portable Door; Young Rock) as Peter, Emma Hamilton (The Tudors; Mr Selfridge) as Sheila and Cheree Cassidy (Underbelly, The Time of Our Lives) as Marlene.

Ten Pound Poms returns Sunday 9th March at 8pm on BBC One.
