Yay! Emmy® nominee Bryan Brown (Boy Swallows Universe, Anyone but You, The Thorn Birds) and Emmy® winner Greta Scacchi (Bodies, War and Peace, Rasputin) will be back on our screens soon, reprising their titular roles as retired detective Jack Darby and widowed English nurse Joan Kirkhope in the second season of the terrific Aussie cozy mystery series, Darby and Joan.

Opening a year after their fateful meeting, Season 2 finds Jack and Joan have forged a deep friendship amid their investigative adventures. But Jack’s story has only just begun: He’s determined to clear his name of the unexplained cloud hanging over his career. Despite the potential danger — or perhaps because of it — Joan insists on helping Jack with his quest.

As the two hunt for the one person Jack believes can reveal the truth about his mysterious past while solving mysteries as they travel through Queensland’s picturesque landscapes, Jack and Joan’s relationship with be tested. Will they be able to uncover the truth after all these years? Or will their search for answers only unearth more questions?
