From ABC:
ABC hit drama Bay of Fires returns for season two this June
The highly anticipated eight-part, darkly comedic hit drama Bay of Fires returns for season two on Sunday 15 June at 8.00pm on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview.
Showcasing Tasmania’s rugged west coast, season two opens with Stella (Marta Dusseldorp), now the boss of Mystery Bay while also juggling solo parenting and keeping her criminal overlords at bay.
Stella sees a glimmer of hope on the horizon. No one has tried to kill her for some months, she has Thursday date night with Jeremiah and Mystery Bay is prospering under her 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.
