Season 2 of Netflix’s Heartbreak High underway with new castmates announced

After a climactic cliff-hanging finale, Australian shot and set Heartbreak High is underway with filming for season 2, with Netflix announcing 2 new cast members. Hartley High will welcome Sam Rechner playing country boy Rowan Callaghan  alongside Kartanya Maynard taking on the role of opiniated celibacy advocate Zoe Clarke. With filming started in June, season 2 is expected to hit streaming streams in 2024.

Produced by Freemantle Australia and NewBe, season 2 will return to the show’s stomping ground of Sydney, specifically Gadigal, Dharug, Dharawal and Ku-ring-gai lands. Led by show creator and writer Hannah Carrol, the show is supported by extensive writing team including Thomas Wilson-White, Natesha Somasundaram, Megan Palinkas, Meyne Wyatt, Marieke Hardy, Matthew Whittet, Sara Khan, Keir Wilkins, Jean Tong, Kathleen Lee, and Sarah Emery.

Reassembling for another season of complex high school dramas, poignant social commentaries and belly aching comedy, Heartbreak High’s return is much anticipated. Familiar faces and 2023 Logie nominees Ayesha Madon, Chloe, Hayden and Thomas Weatherall will all returning to their roles along with James Majoos, Asher Yasbincek, Will McDonald, Gemma Chua-Tran, Sherry-Lee Watson, Bryn Chapman Parish, Josh Heuston, Brodie Townsend, Chika Ikogwe and Rachel House.
