Returning: Mr. Inbetween

Scott Ryan returns as the criminal-for-hire “Ray Shoesmith” in September.

Season 2 of offbeat hitman drama, Mr. Inbetween, will air from mid-September.

Creator Scott Ryan, who won a Logie Award for ‘Most Outstanding Actor’ returns as the criminal-for-hire “Ray Shoesmith”, and serves as series writer.

He is joined by Brooke Satchwell as girlfriend Ally, Justin Rosniak as best friend Gary, Chika Yasumura as daughter Brittany, Nicholas Cassim as brother Bruce, Damon Herriman as boss Freddy, David Michôd as Peter the anger management counsellor and Matt Nable as Dave.

New cast includes Ben Oxenbould as Dirk, Josh McConville as Alex, Rebecca Montalti as Mandy and Rose Riley as Michele.

Director Nash Edgerton Said, “The response to season one was super positive both here and in the US, with everyone wanting more. We are very excited to share more episodes, allowing us to explore Ray’s character further and delve deeper into Ray’s adventures in crime, dating and parenting.”

Foxtel’s Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh said: “The first season of Mr Inbetween was a hit with viewers and a critical success and we can’t wait to see what the brilliant creative team have in store for the new season. We are proud to bring these unique stories to Australian audiences and Mr Inbetween joins a huge line-up of Australian drama on Foxtel including Wentworth, Secret City, Lambs of God and two upcoming series Upright and The End.

“At Foxtel our continued strategy is to find and commission local stories that are designed for our dedicated Australian viewers. International success, such as what Mr Inbetween has achieved is a welcome bonus”.

Juggling a relationship, parental responsibilities, friendships and a sick brother while earning a living would be difficult for anyone, but it’s particularly difficult when you’re a criminal for hire.

Ray Shoesmith “takes care of people” — collecting debts, relieving them of drugs and guns, and often taking care of them on a more permanent basis. Ray demands respect and does not tolerate it when someone disregards his very clear code of ethics. In season two of Mr Inbetween, Ray’s work and personal life begin to collide and he finds himself struggling to keep both sides of his life from imploding.

The series was recently shot in Sydney and is produced by FX in association with Blue-Tongue Films, Jungle Entertainment and Pariah Productions. Edgerton, Ryan and Jason Burrows are Executive Producers and Michele Bennett is producer.

Express from the US, Fridays at 2pm from September 13 repeated 8pm and Sundays at 8.30pm on FOX Showcase.

  1. I watched this on a flight to Buenos Aires and it was fantastic. Very much looking forward to seeing S2. Great writing and acting and the relationship with his daughter is well done. He’s a great character to watch.
