Top of the Lake renewed

Despite the promise creator Jane Campion has made: "There will be no additional seasons", the success of the first season has made sure that the BBC has renewed ‘Top of the Lake’ for a second season.

The drama series premiered on 18 March 2013. In seven episodes Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) had to solve the mystery of a vanished twelve-year-old pregnant girl. ‘Top of the Lake’ received plenty of critical acclaim and award wins from Golden Globe Awards, AACTA Awards, Logies, ASTRA Awards, Creative Emmys, Critics Choice Awards and nominations from Emmys.

Natalie Edgar, Director of Television, BBC Worldwide Australia and New Zealand told TV Tonight: “BBC Worldwide ANZ has first option on a second series of ‘Top of the Lake’ in Australia and New Zealand. It is very early stages of development, we are working closely with See-Saw Films and can’t wait to see what Jane has in store for series two.”

What do you think, is it a good idea to renew ‘Top of the Lake’ and are you going to watch the second season?
