The hit drama follows a group of Brits who left post-war Britain under the £10 assisted passage scheme, seeking a better life on the sun-soaked shores of Australia.

Series two picks up in 1957, a year after the first season, as the characters continue to grapple with the realities of life in Galgownie, far removed from the paradise they were promised.

Michelle Keegan returns as nurse Kate Thorne, alongside Faye Marsay and Warren Brown as Annie and Terry Roberts, a couple determined to secure a brighter future for their family.

The season introduces new arrivals, including the Skinner family, Irish immigrants eager for their slice of the dream, and Benny Bates, a manipulative landlord who pulls Terry into a morally fraught deal.

As the characters settle into their new lives, they face fresh challenges and dilemmas. For Kate, her nursing career continues to be a lifeline, but life in Australia demands sacrifices. The Roberts family confronts both personal and professional struggles as they try to carve out a stable future.

The vibrant Australian setting provides a backdrop for complex, intertwined stories of hope, ambition, and resilience, echoing the real experiences of thousands of British migrants during the 1950s.
