Netflix’s hit teen surf drama series Surviving Summer is currently filming for its second season on the Surf Coast.

The story follows rebellious Brooklyn teen Summer Torres, played by Sky Katz, who is expelled from school and sent to live with family friends in the tiny fictional town of Shorehaven on the Great Ocean Road.

The first season received mostly positive reviews and filming for season two continued at Anglesea this week.

The show reached the top 10 in more than 42 countries around the world on Netflix, including Australia, USA, Canada, UK, Brazil and countries across Europe, Africa and Asia.

The first season premiered on the streaming platform giant on June 3, 2022 and was renewed for a second season in November last year.
