North Shore Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 19, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated August 19, 2025, 12:47 IST 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. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

The 100 best British TV shows of the 21st century
W hat is the best British television show of the century so far? That's the question the Times and Sunday Times TV team has set out to answer. With the help of some of the nation's top writers, actors and actresses, from Stephen Merchant and Michael Sheen to Joanne Froggatt and Lucy Prebble, our team of television critics has assembled a list of 100 that includes the best drama, comedy, documentaries and entertainment formats of the past 25 years. Almost all are available to watch now thanks to the streaming revolution that has transformed TV. The rules are simple. The programmes must be British, so classic American dramas such as The Sopranos and Game of Thrones aren't allowed, and the shows must have been first broadcast after January 1, 2000. That means reboots of shows that were first broadcast in the 20th century are ineligible. It's why you won't see Doctor Who, which began in 1963, but returned in 2005 after a 13-year hiatus, on our list.

The third item in this set is the AIRbrush Brightening Flawless Finish powder, which is touted as a brightening flawless filter for the eyes and face.

Dermot O'Leary looks dapper in a navy suit as he chats away to Bono's stylish actress daughter Eve Hewson courtside at Wimbledon
It was a very star-studded affair at Wimbledon on Wednesday. And in the crowds courtside was a dapper-looking Dermot O'Leary who was enjoying a catch up with Bono's stylish actress daughter Eve Hewson. Dermot - who is married to producer Dee Koppang - chatted away to his friend at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club after earlier in the day posing in the Lanson room with Downton Abbey star Joanne Froggatt. Eve, 33, looked gorgeous in a blue and white striped dress and accessorised her look with dark shades. The Irish TV star pulled some very animated expressions at one point as Dermot was telling her a story amid the action on court. The brunette beauty added height to her frame with some bright blue strappy heels and pulled her dark hair back into a sleek bun. Eve is starring in Stephen Spielberg's next sci-fi movie with Emily Blunt. The untitled picture will be based on a story by the legendary filmmaker, while scribe David Koepp – who had previously worked with Spielberg on his 2005 action movie 'War of the Worlds' - writes the script. Although plot details are being kept under wraps, Universal Pictures teased the project would be a 'new original event film', with the flick expected to include sci-fi elements in its story. The movie is slated to hit cinemas on May 15, 2026. Last year Eve revealed her parents, U2 star Bono and activist Ali Hewson, were not best pleased to hear she wanted to become an actor. Eve admitted there is 'a lot of bad s***' that goes on in 'stark' Hollywood. She said: '[My parents] were like, 'Oh my god, this is what she wants to do.' 'They just didn't want me to move to Hollywood. They didn't want me to get caught up in the movie business,' she added.

There's a lot of bad s*** out there. 'They were concerned for their 15-year-old child that, all of a sudden, came home and was like: 'I want to be an actress.' They were like, 'Oh god, no. Please be an architect.'' Eve also revealed that she steals her dad Bono's expensive face cream, after the U2 star was gifted a bottle of the luxury Augustinus Bader moisturizer. She told Byrdie: 'Which is a real benefit of our relationship because his assistant bought it for him, and he obviously does not wash his face and doesn't care, and it's just in his bathroom. 'It's really expensive, amazing face cream. And so I go in there when I'm home, use it all, and he is none wiser.' Eve's mom, activist Ali Hewson, also isn't big on skincare, but her and her older sister Jordan, 35, are. She said: 'My sister and I are the skincare freaks, and whenever someone has something new, it's like, what is that? Oh my god, what does that do? Should I get it?
