Bay of Fires, the Australian crime drama led by Marta Dusseldorp, will air its second season on ITVX.
The series, which became the number one drama on its broadcast channel down under, is slated to return on 30th November, with fans treated to eight new episodes.
According to an official synopsis: “Bay of Fires season two opens with Stella (Dusseldorp) now the leader of the Mystery Bay residents while also juggling solo parenting and keeping her criminal bosses at bay.
“Mystery Bay is prospering under Stella’s guidance – albeit in a somewhat chaotic fiscal manner. But such joys are short-lived when she and her kids find themselves sandwiched between an unhinged apiarist drug lord, a maniacal millenarian doomsday cult, the resurrection of her nemesis, Russia, and a growing civil war in the town.
“Slowly, it dawns on Stella that she may be the cause of much of this nightmare. Perhaps the only way out is to go back to the source and blow it sky high.”

Dusseldorp, who is also billed as a co-creator, will reunite with several cast members from season one. Among them, Toby Leonard Moore, Nicholas Bell, Bob Franklin, Kim Ko, Matt Nable, Roz Hammond and more are poised to reprise their roles.
Season two will also include three newcomers, with Benedict Hardie, Alex Dimitriades and Darren Gilshenan heading to Mystery Bay.
Bay of Fires, which first premiered in 2023, has been well-received by fans. Penning a review on IMDb, one user noted that they were “hooked” thanks to the “unexpected twists and turns” that left them “wanting more”.

“Bay of Fires is one of the freshest, most exciting shows I’ve seen to date,” penned another. “One of my pet hates is being spoon-fed a plot, and Bay of Fires is the opposite! It has everything you want in a first episode – excitement, suspense and leaves you with questions you can’t wait to be answered.”
Meanwhile, a third raved: “Bay of Fires is proving to be everything l wanted and more – Tasmania looks amazing, the suspense has me on the edge of my seat, the characterisation is quirky and I want to know them more, and it’s a total escape from my reality.”
Season two of Bay of Fires will debut on ITVX on 30th November. All episodes of season one are currently available to stream on the platform.
