The anticipation is palpable as Prime Video and Amazon Freevee announce the second season of the riveting Australian crime series, Troppo. Set to premiere on July 25, 2024, this season promises to be a thrilling ride, packed with mystery, drama, and a touch of the exotic.
Fans of the show will be delighted to see Thomas Jane (Boogie Nights) and Nicole Chamoun (Safe Harbour) reprising their roles as Ted Conkaffey and Amanda Pharrell. The dynamic duo returns to the fictional rural town of Crimson Lake in tropical North Australia, where another bizarre murder shakes the community.
Season two picks up six months after Ted and Amanda's first murder case.
