I know it was just intended as a 6 episode miniseries, but something so great I have to wonder!!!
shareI saw Antonia being interviewed on Jono and Ben and though she said nothing concrete, she did sound like a second season was being planned.
Do you want some bisghetti?
Hiya Ryver!
I feel like I owe you a bunch of reply. I've been so behind and when I am, I stay away from here. Cuz spoilers.
I'm gonna have to check out that interview, interesting that she doesn't say one way or the other. As the series went on, I was sure that they were setting it up to be a no question one-off. Now that I have seen the finale, I am feeling quite mixed.
The one year per episode format kind of gives it a shelf life but I could see it continuing for a bit. Kind of sad, though. I could totally see myself watching way more than six hours of that show to get to where we left off.
But even if that's it, we still have a beautiful little prequel that was done with so much love. But I really hope that's not it!

Yeh they left it wide open! So here's hoping for more, but I agree with you, even if they don't, they gave us 6 beautiful episodes!

How big does this pile have to BE! I want my life back!
A second season of Outrageous Fortune prequel Westside has been confirmed in the latest funding announcement from NZ on Air.
NZ on Air has announced that $20.3 million from its first funding round of the financial year will be invested in local drama and documentaries.
Fans of Outrageous Fortune's West family will be treated to a second series of prequel Westside on TV3, with 10 new episodes announced at a cost of $7.6 million.
A new series announced for TV One is Dirty Laundry, a 13-part drama centred on a middle-class family whose mother is jailed for money laundering, while the rest of the family must decide whether to keep her business interests going to sustain their lifestyle.
The series is written and produced by Rachel Lang, Gavin Strawhan and Stephen Zanoski.
Two dramatisations of major New Zealand historical events are also being funded.
Written by John Banas, Bombshell - The Sinking Of The Rainbow Warrior tells the story of the nation-defining moment the Rainbow Warrior was sunk by terrorists sanctioned by the French Government.
A second tele-feature explores the world of New Zealand aviatrix pioneer Jean Batten.
Jean will be written and produced by Paula Boock and Donna Malane, makers of Field Punishment No. 1 and Tangiwai.
Both dramatisations will be screened on TV One.
"Each of these stories is unique to New Zealand. Seeing our own stories on screen, whether they are fictional or bring our history to life, is crucial to our culture. Amid a sea of foreign content, this is New Zealand on air," said NZ On Air Chief Executive Jane Wrightson.
Wrightson also acknowledged recent discussions about rumours of a new soap opera for TV3, but said there had not been an application for funding.
