Following a successful first season, more episodes of Drive will make its way to the screens of Nine.
Drive has officially announced a second season, returning to screens across the 9Network.
The new season begins on Sunday 1st May, taking viewers along for the ride on some of Australia’s most iconic road trips and uncovering hidden gems on roads less travelled.
Following the successful launch of the Drive series earlier this year, season two will run over 10 episodes on Channel 9 at 1:00pm Sunday and stream on 9Now.
Hosted by industry experts and journalists James Ward, Trent Nikolic, and Emma Notarfrancesco, each episode is designed to appeal to a broad audience, from motor lovers to weekend drivers, through local stories, breath-taking scenery, and a diverse range of cars.
CEO Simon Halfhide said:
“We’re thrilled with the performance of our first ever DRIVE series. Given the recent shift to more Australians exploring their own backyard, our goal was to take viewers on an inspiring road trip that was both aspirational, yet within reach.
“It was also great to see that more than 50 percent of the average audience throughout the first season were female. This shows we’re striking the right balance between automotive tech and the lifestyle content more geared to families.”
Drive season two will feature the very first drives in all new vehicles, the latest electric cars, SUV’s and hot hatches, while travelling across lakes, deserts, and even visiting a gigantic solar farm.
Drive’s Director of Content, James Ward said:
“This new season of Drive promises more cars, more roads and great local stories, all while discovering those ‘off the main road’ hidden gems that families can add to their next great escape.
“Nowhere else can audiences get the pairing of expert automotive knowledge, with the front-seat, immersive road trip experience that television provides.”
