Fantastic news! The fabulous mystery drama series Darby and Joan, starring the brilliant duo of Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi, is returning with a second season. Woo hoo!
Acorn TV and production partner CJZ jointly announced today that they have commissioned Season Two of the hit series Darby and Joan, along with news of sales of the show to new platform partners globally.
Starring in the series are Emmy® nominee Bryan Brown (Boy Swallows Universe, Anyone but You, The Thorn Birds) and Emmy® winner Greta Scacchi (Bodies, War and Peace, Rasputin) as the titular Jack Darby and Joan Kirkhope — he a former cop, she an English nurse.

Forming an unlikely investigative duo, they quickly realize the greatest mystery they face is each other.
Filming of Season Two begins mid-year in Australia. The new season finds Jack and Joan on the hunt for the one person Jack believes can reveal the truth about his mysterious past.
