Last King of the Cross Returns for Season Two: Here’s Why You Should Be Watching

The Australian crime saga set viewing records in its first season. Now it’s back for another season with more action, underworld figures and drama. In partnership with Paramount+, here are the standout reasons to dive into season two.

--

Cinematic and stylish, it’s no wonder Last King of the Cross became the most-watched Australian show on Paramount+ on its debut last year. The Sydney-set crime series is fictitous drama inspired by the true story of brothers John and Sam Ibrahim, who escaped as children from war-torn Lebanon and became rising figures in the Australian underworld of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

As the darkly compelling, fictional saga returns from August 30 on Paramount+, the focus switches from Kings Cross to Oxford Street. Season two picks up 18 months after the last season’s white-knuckle climax, with both new and returning characters on board. The second season proves even more suspenseful and perilous – with more punchy action and family drama than before.

We’ve highlighted five key reasons to add the second season to your must-watch calendar. If you haven’t seen season one yet, don’t worry – you’ve still got time to catch up.

Naveen Andrews joins the cast as a formidable underworld figure

Best known for his long-running role on Lost, British-American actor Naveen Andrews joins Last King of the Cross as fictional character Ray Kinnock, the current boss of Oxford Street. That places him in direct opposition to John Ibrahim, who has set his sights on the bustling district to bolster his waning Kings Cross empire. Given Andrews’s track record for playing quirky yet charismatic characters, audiences can expect Ray Kinnock to be an unforgettable antagonist.

Brotherhood sits at the heart of this expanded family story

The first season thrived on the friction between brothers John and Sam, played with gritty conviction by lead actors Lincoln Younes and Claude Jabbour. This season introduces younger siblings Michael and Fadi Ibrahim, played by Dave Hoey and Alex Kaan respectively. While the younger brothers play a smaller role, they complicate the already tense struggle for dominance between John and Sam. That heated family dynamic will be at the centre of season two, as Sam is released from prison and begins to assemble the most substantial bikie chapter in Australian history. Meanwhile, John gets to work re-establishing himself as a key Sydney nightlife figure.

Sydney’s Oxford Street provides an energetic new backdrop

The first season was firmly centred on Kings Cross – but this time we jump to Oxford Street, with the former hotbed of crime and nightlife all but extinguished. The corridor was home to Sydney’s fashion scene and queer culture in the late 1990s, when this season takes place. That makes for a colourful and diverse new location to rival Kings Cross, which was famously recreated with an elaborate set for season one. With new antagonist Ray Kinnock dubbed as “the reigning queen of Oxford Street,” a focus on the street’s lasting queer legacy seems promising. After all, it’s where Sydney’s first Mardi Gras was held in 1978.

Fast-paced action punctuates this high-stakes crime drama

Realistic car chases, shoot-outs and brawls set the tone for Last King of the Cross. That’s especially true of the second season, which ramps up the action and the stakes. As brothers John and Sam each ascend the ladder of Australia’s criminal underworld, their competition won’t go down without a fight. And don’t forget Liz Doyle (played by Tess Haubrich), the driven Sydney detective who has been promoted to senior sergeant and commissioned a new crime taskforce.

John Is a strong addition to television’s modern canon of antiheroes

Modern television is full of memorable antiheroes: think Tony Soprano, Breaking Bad’s Walter White and Mad Men’s Don Draper. This season, John makes a strong case to join their ranks. While Sam and their younger siblings are compelling in their own rights, John moves to centre stage as he wrestles with Ray to gain control of Oxford Street. The tug-of-war between John’s underworld machinations and his family loyalties proves especially gripping this time around.

Season two of Last King of the Cross is streaming August 30 only on Paramount+.

This article is produced by Broadsheet in partnership with Paramount+. Last King of the Cross is a dramatisation inspired by true events from John Ibrahim’s autobiography. Several characters and events represented in the series are fictional. Any similiarity to the name, character or history of any living persons is entirely coincidental and unintentional.

Zoe Terakes is in ensemble cast of The Office Australia

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/zoe-terakes-is-in-ensemble-cast-of-the-office-australia/

Zoe Terakes is in ensemble cast of The Office Australia

Actor Zoe Terakes is officially part of the ensemble cast of The Office Australia, our new version of the TV comedy series headed by actress Felicity Ward.

Prime Video has confirmed the all-Aussie The Office will premiere all eight episodes on the streaming service on October 18.

The long-awaited, highly-anticipated Aussie spinoff of the franchise follows Ricky Gervais’ UK version and Steve Carell’s US version, as well as 13 other spinoffs around the world.

On Monday, Prime Video dropped a first-look image at actress and comic Felicity Ward, who’s the franchise’s first-ever female lead.

Felicity is playing the new boss Hannah Howard who is the managing director of packaging company Flinley Craddick.

Aussie actor Zoe Terakes is also officially part of the ensemble cast, alongside Edith Poor, Steen Raskopoulos, Shari Sebbens, Josh Thomson, Jonny Brugh, Susan Ling Young, Raj Labade, Lucy Schmidt, Pallavi Sharda and Claude Jabbour.

“When Hannah gets news from Head Office that they will be shutting down her branch and making everyone work from home, she goes into survival mode, making promises she can’t keep to keep her ‘work family’ together,” the synopsis states.

“The staff of Flinley Craddick indulge her and must endure Hannah’s outlandish plots as they work toward the impossible targets set for them.”

The Office Australia filmed last year

Zoe Terakes was spotted wearing a tradie’s outfit on location while filming the show in the Sydney suburb of Rydalmere in June last year.

The non-binary Australian actor and a group of their castmates were photographed around an office building that was transformed into the comedy series’ fictional Australian company.

There’s been chatter about an Australian version of The Office since 2018. At one point, Magda Szubanski was rumoured to be up for the lead role, before Felicity Ward was cast.

The Australian version of The Office will premiere on Prime Video on October 18.

Cody Fern set to star in Stan Original series Eden!

Stan has commissioned Eden, a brand new eight-part Stan Original Series which lays bare the dark and secret lives of a raft of characters in a place that looks very much like paradise. Inspired by the iconic beauty of the town of Byron Bay, the series is currently shooting in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales with major production investment from Screen Australia.

From the creators of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and the reboot of Seachange, Every Cloud Productions’ Fiona Eagger and Deb Cox, and the creator of the U.K. cult hit Skins, Bryan Elsley, Eden will star a diverse cast of young actors, led by Sophie Wilde and BeBe Bettencourt, alongside Keiynan Lonsdale (The Flash), Cody Fern (American Horror Story), Cassandra Sorrell (The Ugliest Duckling), Claude Jabbour (Stateless), Alexandria Steffensen (Happy Feet), Christopher James Baker (Ozark) and Samuel Johnson (Molly). Acclaimed filmmaker John Curran (Stan Original Series Bloom, Tracks, Chappaquiddick) will serve as set-up director on the series, with AACTA Award-winner Mirrah Foulkes (Judy & Punch) also attached to direct.

Exploring the unseen lives of a collective of locals after the disappearance of a young woman, Eden was created by Australia’s own award-winning emerging writer-director Vanessa Gazy (Highway), who will serve as head writer and executive produce the series. The eight-part, one-hour drama has been developed in collaboration with Bryan Elsley and is based on an original concept by Deb Cox. Elsley, who founded the U.K.’s Balloon Entertainment with comedian Harry Enfield, previously worked with Every Cloud on the web series Deadlock.

Last King of The Cross – Season 2 trailer

Premieres On Friday, 30 August.

Claude Jabbour as SAM IBRAHIM & Lincoln Younes as JOHN IBRAHIM – Last King Of The Cross – Season 2. Photo by Daniel Asher Smith

Paramount+ has revealed the trailer for Season 2 of Last King of The Cross, the Australian crime series that follows a fictional John Ibrahim in his mission to capture Oxford Street’s late-night empire.

While the series takes some inspiration from the real-life John Ibrahim, who had links to organised crime in Sydney (but was never convicted of any crimes), Last King of The Cross is not a biopic, and is only loosely inspired by real events.

In Season 2, John finally returns to Sydney after hiding out in Ibiza. Once there, he sees that his two younger Ibrahim brothers, Fadi (Alex Kaan) and Michael (Dave Hoey) have grown up, while older brother Sam (Claude Jabbour) remains in prison. The latter is steadily growing a following as he attempts to establish his own Black Flags chapter, which forces John to realise that the Kings Cross he left behind has changed forever.

The once thriving area is all but dead in the wake of the Royal Commission, and John wants in on the new hotspot of Oxford Street. Nightclub owner Ray Kinnock (Naveen Andrews – Lost, The Dropout, The English Patient) employs every trick in his well-connected arsenal to challenge John’s crown, while Dean Taylor (Luke Arnold) and Benny Vasquez (Matuse) emerge as new threats. Meanwhile, Senior Sergeant Elizabeth Doyle (Tess Haubrich) follows his every move.

Last King of the Cross is coming to Oxford Street

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/last-king-of-the-cross-is-coming-to-oxford-street/

Last King of the Cross is coming to Oxford Street

Season two of the hit Paramount+ crime drama Last King of the Cross has begun filming around Sydney and will focus on Sydney’s gay scene and Oxford Street in the early 2000s with a plot line that will have John Ibrahim butting heads with a gay crime boss.

According to a statement by the show’s producers, season two will focus on John Ibrahim setting his sights on “capturing a new kingdom – the glittering prize of Oxford Street, Sydney’s nightclub empire.”

“With it, comes all new challenges and enemies. John is thrown into a struggle for power with the reigning queen of Oxford Street, Ray Kinnock, who is determined to either keep John out, or take him down, while facing the relentless scrutiny of newly promoted Senior Sergeant Liz Doyle and her new taskforce.”

Last King of the Cross is based on John Ibrahim’s 2017 memoir of the same name but takes a fair amount of creative licence in adapting the story for television.

Tim Roth played series one antagonist Ezra Shipman who was loosely based on real Kings Cross identity George Freeman who died in 1990.

Ray Kinnock appears to be a wholly fictional character, but in real life John Ibrahim did buy the DCM (Don’t Cry Mama) night club in the early 2000s as well as seven other clubs along Oxford Street and the second series will focus on that expansion of his business empire outside King Cross 18 months after the events of of the first season.

Transgender actress Janet Anderson’s character of Simone who featured in the plot of season one is also returning for season two and the show put out a call for members of the Sydney LGBTQIA+ community to work as extras on the show in late December.

SVP Content & Programming, Paramount ANZ, Daniel Monaghan said in a statement, “After the phenomenal success of the first season, we’re excited to kick off filming for Last King of The Cross.”

“The second season promises to captivate audiences with a gripping tale of power, loyalty, and the evolving dynamics of Kings Cross with all new challenges on Oxford Street. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride as we delve deeper into these intricate, decadent and dangerous worlds.”

Helium Pictures’ Mark Fennessy said, “We’re super excited to continue the story of Last King of The Cross – bringing more extreme and fascinating untold stories of John Ibrahim and his family.”

“Season 2 will surprise and thrill our audience in unexpected ways as we enter the seductive, dangerous, and ecstasy-fuelled world of the early 2000’s.

“Last King of The Cross promises to once again push the boundaries, showcasing the evolution of our characters against the backdrop of Sydney’s gritty and glamorous nightlife scene where power, sex, crime, and business intersect.”

Lincoln Younes and Claude Jabbour return as brothers John and Sam Ibrahim, while audiences will be introduced to the characters of John’s younger brothers Michael Ibrahim, played by digital creator Dave Hoey (Granny Flat Comedy), and Fadi, played by newcomer Alex Kaan.

Also returning are the characters of Detective Liz Doyle (Tess Haubrich), Big Tony (Matt Nable) and Tongan Sam (Uli Latukefu).

Naveen Andrews Joins Paramount+’s ‘Last King Of The Cross’ Season 2

EXCLUSIVE: Naveen Andrews has joined the cast of Paramount+‘s Australian drama series Last King of the Cross.

He will play lead antagonist Ray Kinnock in the second season of the show, which tells the story of Sydney nightclub kingpin John Ibrahim (Lincoln Younes) and his brother Sam (Claude Jabbour).

Filming is underway on season 2 in Sydney, as John sights set on capturing a new kingdom — the glittering prize of Oxford Street, Sydney’s nightclub empire.

Andrews will bring to life the fictional character of Ray Kinnock, who is determined to either keep John out, or take him down. The actor is best known for his role on ABC cult drama Lost, for which he won a Screen Actors Guild award along with the rest of the cast. He also appeared in the iconic classic movie The English Patient and, most recently, The Dropout, alongside Amanda Seyfried and is a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award nominee.

Also joining the show for season two are Luke Arnold (Scrublands, INXS: Never Tear Us Apart) and Matuse (The Fall Guy, Furiosa), who will play Dean Taylor and Benny respectively, two new drug lords hell-bent on bringing their booming trade into John’s clubs.

Paramount Australia’s Creative Advisor Drama, Rick Maier said: “Going up against the Ibrahims on screen is no easy task. Naveen promises to give Lincoln and Claude a run for their money. He’s a brilliant actor, and a fantastic inclusion for series two.

“The addition of Luke and Matuse, only add weight to the feeling that this is the hottest ticket in town for actors keen to join this red hot ensemble. They will be terrific.”

“Naveen is a highly respected and celebrated actor who has captivated audiences with stunning performances in major hits such as Lost, The English Patient, Bride and Prejudice and more recently The Dropout,” added Mark Fennessy from producer Helium Pictures. A massive addition to Last King of The Cross, as our primary antagonist, he brings a delicious mix of cool and class to a diverse and multi-talented cast”.

Last King of The Cross comes from Helium Pictures with Cineflix Rights as the exclusive international distribution partner. The series received major production investment from Paramount Australia in association with Screen Australia and is financed with support from Screen NSW through the Made in NSW fund and Fulcrum Media Finance. Post, digital and visual effects supported by Screen NSW and Screen Queensland.
