Scrublands: Silver (4 x 1 hour), the sequel to Scrublands and based on the best-selling novel ‘Silver’ by Chris Hammer, sees the return of award-winning investigative journalist Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold – Black Sails) and his partner Mandy Bond (Bella Heathcote – Pieces of Her).

Jonathan Ford, Managing Director at Sphere Abacus comments, “We’re thrilled that Sundance Now has acquired this riveting sequel to Scrublands which had previously received strong ratings for the channel.  It’s great that North American audiences will have the opportunity to continue to follow the intriguing story of Martin and Mandy set against a stunning waterside backdrop in Australia.” 

When he returns to his coastal hometown, Port Silver, WA, Martin finds his childhood friend Jasper brutally murdered and Mandy the prime suspect.  He struggles with doubts – about Mandy and about his own ability to recognise the truth.  As he pushes forward to find the real murderer and absolve Mandy, Martin confronts secrets about Port Silver and his long-buried past.
