Acorn TV subscribers, clear your calendars: Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi return as the unlikely detective duo in “Darby and Joan” Season 2, premiering December 30, 2024. This season, their nomadic existence across the Australian outback takes a turn for the complicated, as Jack Darby finds himself grappling with a past professional scandal. Naturally, Joan Kirkhope, ever the adventurer, insists on joining his quest for vindication, despite the inherent risks.
While the first season charmed viewers with its picturesque landscapes and the evolving camaraderie between a retired detective and a widowed nurse, Season 2 aims to crank up the tension. The pair’s bond will undoubtedly be tested as they tackle new mysteries and face challenges that threaten to unravel their unconventional partnership. Will their shared love of puzzles and a good cuppa be enough to see them through? Only time will tell.
Acorn TV is making a splash with this premiere, dropping two episodes on December 30, then continuing with weekly installments through January 27th. This binge-then-savor approach aims to satisfy both the impatient and those who prefer to let the suspense simmer. If the trailer is any indication, viewers are in for another dose of stunning Queensland scenery, serving as a breathtaking backdrop for the duo’s complicated adventures.
“Darby and Joan” Season 2 airs on Acorn TV on Monday, December 30, 2024.
