This season, while soaking up the sun in Fiji, Alexa’s holiday takes a dark turn when a familiar foe resurfaces. But catching a killer isn’t her only unfinished business – she’s also reunited with Jesse (Craig Parker, Spartacus, Xena: Warrior Princess), her former police partner. Is he the one that got away? With her whānau (extended family) backing her every step of the way, Alexa is diving headfirst into a new wave of high-stakes cases – where buried secrets resurface and justice is never as simple as it seems, but one thing’s clear: Alexa’s not backing down.
With a visually-striking contemporary approach, the series chronicles Hunyadi’s lifelong struggle against the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire as well as his enemies at home.

Bursting with comedy, adventure and heart, the film turns everyday school chaos into an out-of-this-world escapade. The cast includes Hero Hunter, alongside Aaron Harris, Harper Zilmer, Nakai Takawira, Sean Sotaridona, Liv Pearsall and Adam Rose.
