Tween political dramedy The PM’s Daughter is back on the ABC for a second season June 12.
Cat’s (Cassandra Helmot) finally found her groove as the PM’s daughter. But between a federal election campaign and a highly competitive tech internship, there’s no shortage of distractions … and that’s all before her mother’s love life starts making headlines.
Cat’s journalism aspirations are about to be put to the test as she digs to uncover her very first story, all while balancing the unpredictable complications that come with being the PM’s daughter.
With best friends Sadie Bonner (Natalie English) and Ollie Yeung (Jaga Yap) by her side, Cat’s about to discover that the truth can be far more complicated than she ever imagined. Nothing is ever simple when your mum (Claire Fearon) is the PM.
This season will also see a special cameo from Richard Roxburgh.
