Filming is now underway in Sydney on a second season of The Secret Daughter, Channel Seven’s feel-good hit of 2016 starring ARIA and AACTA Award-winner, Jessica Mauboy.

Mauboy reprises her Logie-nominated role of Billie Carter, the part-time country pub singer whose life was changed forever after a chance meeting with wealthy city hotelier Jack Norton.

The story picks up after Billie has turned her back on the Nortons and a record deal and is left wondering who she is and where she belongs. So begins Billie’s journey of self-discovery… family and friendship, rich and poor, career and love – can Billie have it all? Only time will tell…

Also returning to the popular family drama for Season 2 are Matt Levett (A Place To Call Home, Devil’s Playground), David Field (Catching Milat, No Activity), Rachel Gordon (Winter, The Moodys), Bonnie Sveen (Home and Away), Jared Turner (The Shannara Chronicles, The Almighty Johnsons), Jordan Hare (EMO the Musical), Terry Serio (Janet King) and J.R. Reyne (Neighbours).

They’ll be joined by new cast members including James Sweeny (Molly, Neighbours) and Rachael Maza (Radiance).
