North Shore Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Fans of North Shore, the gripping Australian crime thriller, can't stop buzzing about the possibility of a second season. With its intense murder mystery, stunning Sydney Harbour backdrop, and a stellar cast led by Joanne Froggatt and John Bradley, the show hooked viewers from the start. After wrapping up its first season in 2023, the big question on everyone's mind is: what's next for North Shore? Here's a deep dive into all the details about Season 2. Release Date Speculation for North Shore Season 2
Since there's no official word on renewal, pinning down a release date for Season 2 is tricky. If filming did start in late 2023 as rumored, production timelines for similar shows suggest a potential premiere in late 2025 or early 2026. For context, Season 1 dropped on Network 10 in May 2023 and hit ITVX in the UK in December 2024, with Netflix picking it up in June 2025. If renewed, expect a similar rollout, possibly on Network 10, Paramount+, ITVX, or Netflix. Fans should keep an eye on the official North Shore page on Paramount+ or Network 10 for the latest updates. Until then, late 2025 feels like a reasonable guess, but nothing's set in stone. Who's in the Cast for North Shore Season 2?
Assuming Season 2 gets the green light, the core cast is likely to return, given their pivotal roles in the first season's success. Here's who to expect based on Season 1's lineup:
Joanne Froggatt as Abigail Crawford: The UK Trade Minister dealing with the tragic loss of her daughter Sophie. Froggatt, known for Downton Abbey and Liar, brings emotional depth that could carry over into new storylines.
John Bradley as D.S. Max Drummond: The British detective whose chemistry with his Australian counterpart stole the show. Bradley, a Game of Thrones alum, shines as the sharp yet relatable cop.
Kirsty Sturgess as D.S. Meg Driscoll: The Aussie detective clashing with Max while unraveling the case. Her dynamic with Bradley is a fan favorite.
Dan Spielman as Simon Chalcott: Abigail's husband, whose arc could tie into lingering secrets from Season 1.
Rob Carlton as Lloyd Macklin: The shady businessman with loose ends that could fuel a new season.
Matt Passmore as Greg Hardy: The opposition leader whose political ties might spark fresh drama.
Rhys Muldoon as D.C.I. Andrew Newell: A key figure in the investigation, likely to return for more.
Supporting players like Claire Lovering (Tori), Chris Alosio, and others could also pop up, depending on the plot. New faces might join if the story introduces a fresh case, but no casting rumors have surfaced yet. The ensemble's chemistry, praised across reviews, makes their return a safe bet. What to Expect in North Shore Season 2?
Season 1 wrapped up the murder of Sophie, Abigail's daughter, with a jaw-dropping twist that left viewers reeling. While the main case closed, loose threads and character dynamics set the stage for more. Here's what the plot might explore, based on hints from Season 1 and fan speculation: A New Case for Max and Meg : The British-Aussie duo could tackle another Sydney-based murder, possibly linked to international politics or shady deals. Their clashing styles and growing bond would keep the banter alive.
Unresolved Threads : Season 1 dropped clues about Lloyd Macklin's shady dealings and a mysterious caller tipping off Max and Abigail. These could unravel into a bigger conspiracy.
Personal Stakes : Abigail's grief and Max's strained relationship with his partner Anna could deepen, adding emotional weight to a new investigation.
Sydney's Elite Under Fire: The show loves exposing the dark side of the city's high society. Expect more scandals, power plays, and secrets in the 'big end of town.'
Creator Mike Bullen, known for Cold Feet , has a knack for blending grit with heart, so any new season would likely balance thrilling crime with character-driven drama. No official plot details exist yet, but fans are eager for another twist-filled ride.

‘Splitsville' Duo Michael Angelo Covino & Kyle Marvin Challenge Conventional Wisdom On Comedy's Global Reach – Comedy Means Business Podcast
As multi-hyphenates who together have premiered a pair of acclaimed indie comedies at Cannes — first The Climb in 2019, and more recently, Splitsville — Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin have a unique perspective on the old adage that comedies don't travel internationally. 'At the advent of cinema, what were the first blockbusters?' asks Covino in an appearance alongside Marvin on our Comedy Means Business podcast. 'It was like Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton and a ton of Pre-Code stuff where everyone was naked. But for the most part, it was slapstick. It was silent films where people were falling down or crashing into things or a hose was spraying them in the face, and that is universal and goes worldwide.' More from Deadline From Touring With Vampire Weekend To Helming Tribeca Prize-Winner 'On A String': Isabel Hagen On Forging A Unique Career Synthesizing Music & Comedy – Comedy Means Business Podcast Leanne Morgan & Chuck Lorre Defy Decline Of The Stand-Up-Driven Sitcom With Netflix's 'Leanne' – Comedy Means Business Podcast Joe List & Manager Chris Burns Talk Building Direct-To-Consumer Career & Going Theatrical With 'Small Ball' Special - Comedy Means Business Podcast In the case of 'very specific, topical comedy that is of a place and speaking to zeitgeist only, then sure,' Covino can see a case being made that a comedy might not translate. 'But universal comedy, I think, translates better than any other genre.' Covino and Marvin's films together jointly embody an interest in absurdist comedy elevated by sharp writing and dynamic visuals, which focuses on relationships. While The Climb focuses on a revelation emerging from a long-distance bike ride and the strain that it puts on the relationship between two friends, Splitsville tells the story of two evolving marriages, and another revelation that complicates the relationship between those two couples. When Ashley (Adria Arjona) tells Carey (Marvin), abruptly during a road trip, that she's been repeatedly unfaithful and wants a divorce, Carey turns for solace to married friends Paul (Covino) and Julie (Dakota Johnson), learning that the key to their personal happiness has been to open up their relationship. In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his marriage, Carey pitches Ashley on a similar situation, and chaos ensues. Covino tells me on the podcast that a driving force behind his films with Marvin has been an interest in 'strong point of view' — stories embodying a unique juxtaposition between 'grounded emotions and characters' and 'absurd…and farcical situations.' From Marvin's perspective, the film also highlights their very simple goal of making sure that 'people are entertained' if they take the time to check out their work, in a moment where there are seemingly unlimited options, as far as what people can be consuming or doing with their time. 'I think for us, that means not holding back,' Marvin explains. 'If you can make everything interesting and compelling and believable, why would you hold back on the scenarios or situations that are fun to watch or have things going on that put pressure on character? I think we talk a lot about that entertainment value — what the experience of viewing the movie is going to be, and how we make that experience as fun as possible.' A joke a minute, with some really memorable visual gags, Splitsville is certainly that. It's a film with no clear comp, which while complicating conversations around marketing, affirms to Covino that he and Marvin hit on something good. In their appearance on our podcast, Covino and Marvin discuss the process of creating indie comedies unlike any you'll find elsewhere — one that was helped along, in this case, by Adam Newport-Berra, the cinematographer on the rise who's coming off his first Emmy nomination for his work on The Studio. The pair also discuss test screenings, the idea of cultivating 'future nostalgia' through the theatrical release, their desire to tackle a Christmas movie, and more. Covino directed Splitsville from his script written with Marvin, with the pair also producing. Neon releases the film in limited theaters on August 22 and will go wide with it on September 5.

Jillian Michaels goes nuclear on Bob Harper and Netflix's Biggest Loser docuseries: ‘This is false'
Jillian Michaels has broken her silence on Netflix's Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, refuting claims made in the new docuseries, and is reportedly planning legal action. Michaels, 51, alongside Bob Harper, 60, was one of the personal trainers on the NBC reality show, which aired from 2004 to 2016, following obese people as they attempted to lose weight as quickly as possible using only diet and exercise for a $250,000 cash prize. Michaels, especially, was known for her ruthless attitude towards contestants during workouts, which is put under scrutiny in Netflix's documentary featuring interviews from past contestants. While Harper was involved and interviewed as part of the series, Michaels declined. In the documentary, Michaels's 2013 controversy, when producers accused her of breaking the rules by giving her team caffeine pills without a doctor's permission, is revisited. Elsewhere, Harper tells the cameras that Michaels never reached out to him after he suffered a massive, near-fatal heart attack in 2017. On Tuesday, Michaels turned to Instagram to share alleged email and text chains between herself, The Biggest Loser producers, and Harper. 'This is one email of many that shows: Dr. Huizenga did approve caffeine pills on many seasons of Biggest Loser, Bob Harper not only knew about the caffeine pills the 'stackers fat burner' were actually his suggestion. I wanted to use my brand instead because they were cleaner and had no more than 200mg of caffeine (equivalent to a strong cup of coffee). Caffeine was NEVER banned on The Biggest Loser.' 'Wild how some folks still lie like it's 1985 before texts and email were a thing,' she added. Michaels concluded her post, writing: 'And, the last image is my second to last text ever to Bob Harper. Take from it what you will.' The text shows Michaels's alleged text to Harper, timestamped June 15, 2014. 'I really think it's s****y of you to not even respond to my texts. It's this kind of thing that always makes me so disappointed [in] our relationship,' Michaels reportedly sent to Harper. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Harper acknowledged that he and Michaels 'weren't besties, but we were partners on a television show for a very long time.' He said that her silence 'spoke volumes to me,' adding, 'I would not expect Jillian Michaels to do anything other than what she wants to do.' In a second post, Michaels addressed a claim in the documentary that she told a contestant during a Biggest Loser season finale: 'You're going to make me a millionaire.' 'I want to state unequivocally that this is false,' she wrote on Instagram. 'The full moment was captured on camera, and both the contestant and I were wearing microphones. If such a comment had been made, it would exist on the audio record.' Michaels reportedly told TMZ that she would be speaking to attorney Bryan Freedman — who is currently representing Justin Baldoni in his legal matter with Blake Lively. The publication reports that the trainer is weighing up legal action against Netflix, the producer of the documentary, Harper, and The Biggest Loser's medical advisor, Dr. Robert Huizenga. The Independent has contacted representatives for Michaels, Harper, and Netflix for comment. Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser is available to watch on Netflix.
