The synopsis for season 2 says: "Following the smash-hit first series, which followed the Hardacre family as they navigated their rise from poverty to staggering wealth and the unexpected twists and turns that money brought

the new season charts the Hardacres as they settle into Hardacre Hall and turn their attention to reshaping the world around them… with all the ambition, friction, and fallout that entails."

There’s also a new enemy for the family to contend with: Lady Imelda Hansen (played by A Very British Scandal's Michele Dotrice), the mother of their neighbour Emma.

"It’s 1895, and modernity is arriving at Hardacre Hall – bringing with it electricity, new ideas and new relationships," the official synopsis teases.

It continues: "Hungry for new challenges, Mary champions adult education, while Sam takes steps amid a looming recession to expand the family business.

Not least while wondering if Joe is truly ready to take the reins.

"A chance encounter starts an intense romance for Liza. Harry’s passion for education is reignited with the help of a new tutor, and Joe embraces married life with Betsy."

Returning cast members include Claire Cooper and Liam McMahon, who are reprising their roles as Mary and Sam Hardacre.

Julie Graham will also be back as Mary's mother, Ma, alongside Adam Little, Shannon Lavelle, and Zak Ford-Williams, who will reprise their roles as the Hardacre children Joe, Liza, and Harry, respectively.

Other returning faces include Holly Sturton, Cathy Belton, Owen Roe, Ingrid Craigie, and Sarah Agha.

Meanwhile, other new additions to the cast alongside Dotrice include Niall McNamee (Saipan) as Edward Blackwood, and Edward Mitchell (Justice League) as Arthur Lewis.

Harry shouldn’t have written that letter. What if it got into the wrong hands?

Mochudubh · 04/06/2026 22:00

Very modern lamppost in that last shot. They've painted it black but you can see the access hatch.

JewelleryCat · 04/06/2026 22:18

I want a Ma Hardacre in my life. She’s brilliant

I was like for god's sake don't write it down.

Clawdy · 05/06/2026 17:42

Pity he didn't push the letter right under the door!

CurbsideProphet · 05/06/2026 18:02

Just found this thread!
I watched the most recent episode having my lunch today. I was surprised the engagement storyline was so short. I thought there was going to be some sort of revelation at the altar!

Lady Emma looks like she's having a change of heart, it's just difficult for her to have her own opinions after years of being told what she must think.

JewelleryCat · 05/06/2026 18:34

Yes, Lady Emma is liking the class. I wonder why Harry didn’t push the letter right under the door, fair enough if he couldn’t but surely he could with his stick. I was very surprised with Captain Blackwood but he was so horrible to Liza

I’m just catching up. I’m so sad that Edward turned out to be a wrong’un. Adelina is a nasty piece of work, must take after her grandmama. I hope they both get their comeuppance.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/06/2026 07:18

One can only hope !

Can anyone remind me what the story is with Liza and Callum? There’s obviously feelings there but were they one-sided on Callum’s part?

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/06/2026 06:58

Can’t rem but I did think Callum wasn’t to be trusted in s1

Didn’t he steal some money and made out someone else did/got the blame

or something like that

not sure he can be trusted

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 09/06/2026 08:41

I thought it was Joe who stole the money and set the dock manager guy up?

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/06/2026 12:58

Ah. Totals wrong then ☺️

Do you think there will be a Christmas special?

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/06/2026 22:14

Oh I hope so

OP posts:
JewelleryCat · 11/06/2026 22:31

So do I. I thought Ma would have cottoned onto the fact that they were setting her up but obviously not. I’m glad Mary put that morality guy in his place but I hope the school doesn’t close, it’s a real asset to the community and I can’t believe it’s the last one next week! Doesn’t seem to have really started and it’s nearly over. I wonder if Callum and Liza will ever get together?

Clawdy · 13/06/2026 16:56

Can’t believe Ma would have risked the deeds. Surely she’d have taken a package of money instead.

purpleme12 · 14/06/2026 18:50

That was a really frustrating watch
