Stan and the 9Network today announced that the brand new season of the Stan Original Series Scrublands will premiere April 17, all episodes at once and only on Stan. Filmed in Augusta, Western Australia, Scrublands: Silver sees Luke Arnold (Black Sails) and Bella Heathcote (Pieces of Her) reprise their roles after a critically acclaimed, smash-hit first season.
In the brand new season, it’s been a year since the life changing events of Scrublands and award-winning investigative journalist Martin Scarsden (Arnold) has returned to his coastal hometown, Port Silver, WA, to set up a new life with partner Mandy Bond (Heathcote). When he arrives to find his childhood friend Jasper brutally murdered and Mandy the prime suspect, Martin struggles with doubts – about Mandy and about his own ability to recognise the truth. As he pushes forward to find the real murderer and absolve Mandy, Martin confronts secrets about Port Silver and his long-buried past.
