What to expect from Surviving Summer season 2? Plot, cast, and more details
Surviving Summer tells the story of a teenage girl who's sent to live with her family friends in Australia, where she strikes a friendship with various people around her and develops a special love for surfing.
The story focuses on how much her life changes after she moves to Australia whilst also exploring her various personal relationships.
In the upcoming season, Summer will decide to become a professional surfer like her Aussie friends and returns to the gorgeous Shorehaven with her mother's permission. Her friends are excited to have her back but the journey ahead isn't as easy as it seems. Netflix Media Center's official synopsis of the new season reads:
''A year ago, Summer Torres made the best friends she’d ever had and romance blossomed with Ari Gibson. Inspired by that magical time in Shorehaven, Summer’s been surfing constantly in the unforgiving breaks around Rockaway Beach, New York. A new dream has been forming - return to Shorehaven and become a career surfer, like her Aussie mates. Summer's mother, Margot, finally says yes to a trip down under, but this time she’s coming to keep an eye on her unpredictable daughter.''
The description further states,
''Poppy, Bodhi and Marlon are delighted to have Summer back, although Ari’s feelings are more complicated. But no one can believe it when Summer announces she wants to make the State Team and compete at Nationals, just like them. Their jaws drop all over again when Summer crashes a final in the middle of the tryouts and rips. She’s not just good, she’s a contender. Problem is, when Summer miraculously makes the team, she also makes a mortal enemy of the team captain - Ari’s new girlfriend, Wren.''
The series' cast features Sky Katz in the lead role as Summer Torres. Kai Lewins, Lilliana Bowrey, and Joao Gabriel Marinho, among others, play pivotal supporting characters.
