Hit ABC drama Bay of Fires will have its second season premiere this June, with all eight episodes dropping at once on ABC TV and iview.
Following the events of seasons one, Bay of Fires season two opens with Stella (Marta Dusseldorp) growing into her new role as the boss of Mystery Bay – while also juggling solo parenting and keeping her criminal overlords at bay.
The synopsis reads: 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.
