The highly-anticipated second season of ABC’s six-part, multi-award winning drama, The Newsreader is back this September, along with a new companion podcast.
ABC journalists Leigh Sales and Lisa Millar, both self-confessed fans of The Newsreader, have teamed up to host The Newsreader Podcast, unpacking the news stories covered in each episode, sharing their own experiences and allowing audiences to fully delve into the world of show.
The podcast episodes drop weekly, following each Sunday evening broadcast.
One year on from the events of series one, we meet Helen and Dale, now established as ‘The Golden Couple of News’ who present a glowing image of success and romance to the outside world. But the truth is more complex. As 1987 rolls along, global stocks will soar and crash, Australia will prepare to celebrate its Bicentennial year, and Helen and Dale grapple with who they really want to be in life - and whether that path can be together. Reprising their lead roles as Helen Norville and Dale Jennings are the Emmy nominated Anna Torv (The Last of Us) and Sam Reid (Interview with the Vampire).
Season Two of the TV series premieres Sunday 10 September at 8:30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
