Nicola Daley Acs + The Letdown

November 22, 2018

Director of Photography Nicola Daley has begun shooting on The Letdown, its second season.

Over six episodes, the series follows the comedic highs and dramatic lows faced by new mothers. Season 2 continues to follow Audrey (played by co-creator Alison Bell) and her experiences with the local Mothers’ Group – the story picking up as the newborns have turned one.

Shot in Australia and directed by Amanda Brotchie, Sarah Scheller, Alison Bell and Trent O’Donnell, The Letdown season two will air on ABC TV and iview, and internationally on Netflix, in 2019.
