Michelle Keegan returns in the first photos of Ten Pound Poms season 2

Well, now we have a sneak peek at what the future holds for their characters as they continue their adventures down under.

In one photo, we see a glamorous-looking Kate at a kiosk, but apparently preoccupied with looking at something that hasn’t been shot.

Another photo shows her laughing and possibly on a date with Nic English’s Robbie, with the pair looking quite cozy.

Elsewhere, we see Robbie, Kate, Annie and Terry standing on top of a hill with a mixture of facial expressions, looking out at the countryside in front of them. What could they be planning?

The official synopsis for season 2 reads: “After a challenging first year in Australia, series two follows nurse Kate Thorne (Michelle Keegan) and the Roberts family (led by Faye Marsay and Warren Brown) into 1957 on their adventures down under, each determined against all odds to achieve their share of the Australian dream.

“As Kate, Annie and Terry settle into their new lives, they each struggle to reconcile their hopes for the life they were promised with the harsh realities they face in Galgownie.”

The new season will also see the introduction of the Skinner family, “arriving in Australia from Ireland ready to enjoy their new life in the sunshine, plus unscrupulous landlord Benny Bates, who makes Terry an offer he can’t refuse when he is trying to put down roots for his family”.

Other returning cast members for Season 2 include Rob Collins (Mystery Road) as Ron, Leon Ford (Elvis) as Bill, Declan Coyle (Long Black) as Stevie, Stephen Curry (Hounds Of Love) as JJ, Hattie Hook (Savage River) as Pattie, Finn Treacy (The Portable Door) as Peter, Emma Hamilton (The Tudors) as Sheila and Cheree Cassidy (Underbelly) as Marlene.
