MEDIA RELEASE: Last King Of The Cross Season Two To Premiere On Friday 30 August With Other Territories To Follow

The second season of HELIUM and Cineflix Rights’ highly anticipated new season of the original series Last King of The Cross will premiere on Paramount+ Australia on 30 August.  With the second installment following the character of John Ibrahim (Lincoln Younes) on his mission to capture Sydney’s Oxford Street late-night empire, the fictional series also stars Golden Globe nominee Naveen Andrews (Lost, The Dropout, The English Patient).

Internationally, Last King of The Cross season two will also premiere on Paramount+ Canada on August 30, before rolling out on Sky UK, Warner Bros. Discovery New Zealand and TV Hong Kong, with other territories soon to follow.

Having fled to Ibiza to escape his past, John finally returns to Sydney – only to find it’s not quite how he left it. The two younger Ibrahim brothers, Fadi (Alex Kaan) and Michael (Dave Hoey) have grown up, while older brother Sam (Claude Jabbour) remains in prison – steadily growing a following as he attempts to establish his own Black Flags chapter.

With Kings Cross all but dead in the wake of the Royal Commission, John tails a group of colourful partygoers to Oxford Street – the seductive, ecstasy-fuelled new centre of Sydney nightlife. John wants in, but it’s not going to be easy. Nightclub owner Ray Kinnock (Naveen Andrews) 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.

With Senior Sergeant Elizabeth Doyle (Tess Haubrich) following John’s every move and his own brothers causing chaos, John’s separate worlds of business, family, and crime, will collide across a spectacular and explosive eight episodes.

Last King of The Cross is a HELIUM Pictures production for Paramount+ Australia with Cineflix Rights as the exclusive international distribution partner. The series has 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. Post, digital and visual effects supported by Screen NSW and Screen Queensland.
