Over seven episodes, Outback Ringer will once again follow three families risking their reputations, fortunes and lives catching feral bulls and buffalo deep in Australia’s Northern Territory outback.
Over an entire catching season, audiences will witness their high-stakes, character driven stories, filmed in one of the world’s most iconic locations.
Several of the standout characters from season one return including Indigenous Australian and third generation ringer Clarry Shadforth, with a new look team and equipment.
Also returning are Liz and Willie Cook – the outback’s favourite husband and wife team, who are expanding their empire with an ever- increasing debt financing.
The master bull catcher Kurt Hammer is also back, having negotiated an unprecedented mustering deal with the Northern Land Council and traditional owners of East Arnhem land. He is also negotiating the tricky territory of succession to the considerable Hammer empire with his sons Jesse and Kodi.
After a big wet season, cattle prices are sky-high, so the ringers are doubling the bets, in the hope of making this the year.
