Secrets at Red Rocks Renewed for Season Two
Libertine Pictures’ live-action family adventure series Secrets at Red Rocks has been renewed for a second season by BYUtv (USA) and Sky NZ Originals, with international distribution continuing through WildBrain.
Following the success of Season One, adapted from Kiwi author Rachael King’s award-winning novel Red Rocks, the new instalment expands the world of the show with fresh characters, deeper mysteries and higher stakes. The series continues to blend New Zealand’s dramatic coastal landscapes with myth, adventure and family drama.
Richard Fletcher, Executive Producer at Libertine Pictures, says Season Two builds on the strong foundations of the first series, expanding the world and deepening the mythology while strengthening the relationships at the heart of the story.
BYUtv’s Head of Content Andra Duke says the first season resonated strongly with American audiences for its relatable characters, breathtaking scenery and heartfelt storytelling, with the new season promising bigger twists and even greater thrills.
Production Underway in Wellington
Season Two commenced production this week in Wellington, with delivery expected in October 2026.
Returning lead cast Korban Knock, Dominic Ona-Ariki, Zeta Sutherland and Jim Moriarty are joined by veteran actor Alison Bruce (The Power of the Dog, The World’s Fastest Indian).
The series is directed and produced by David Stubbs (Mystic, Daffodils, Reservoir Hill), with Richard Fletcher serving as Executive Producer. It was developed for television by Martha Hardy-Ward (Reservoir Hill, Girl vs Boy, Mystic), who leads a writing team including Steph Matuku, Helen Pearse-Otene and Matthew Whittet.
Season One recently received three Children’s & Family Emmy® Award nominations and was named National Winner – Best Children’s Programme at the Asian Academy Creative Awards.
Secrets at Red Rocks is a Libertine Pictures production, co-commissioned by BYUtv and Sky New Zealand, with investment from NZ On Air. The series is distributed globally by WildBrain, with the New Zealand Screen Production Rebate cash-flowed by Hinterland.
