With the new Netflix series, you can take a trip to Australia this summer without having to leave your house.

Surviving Summer premiered on Netflix on June 3 and has been a huge success.  Joanna Werner and Josh Mapleston created the Australian original series.

Werner is also a producer on the show. She has worked as a producer on Dance Academy, Dance Academy: The Movie, and H2O: Just Add Water, demonstrating her knowledge of children's and teen content. For the new series, Mapleston is also recognized as a writer. He's written episodes of Dance Academy and Home and Away in the past.

Meet the Cast of Netflix’s Surviving Summer!

She also won five International Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Part for her role in Here There Be Monsters in 2018. She will be portraying the role of Bodhi Mercer in the new Netflix series.

Joao Marinho as Marlon Sousa

Joao Marinho (@joaogabmarinho) is an Australian actor who plays Marlon Sousa in Netflix's Australian teen drama. He does not have previous any cinematic credits as he's making a debut in acting with this series. He looks absolutely stunning and he has always garnered a lot of female fans with his bold personality.

Lilliana Bowrey as Poppy Tetanui

Like Joao, Lilliana Bowrey (@lillianabowrey) is also making her acting debut with Netflix's Surviving Summer. 17-years-old Lilliana Bowrey (born on July 19, 2005) is a native Australian surfer. She plays the role of Poppy Tetanui in the new Netflix series.

These 5 are the main cast members of the show. However, other cast members include: Thommo is played by Dustin Clare, Manu is played by Chris Alosio, Honey is played by Asmara Feik, Freya is played by Natalia Bond, Griff Temple is played by Mitchell Hardaker, Prawnie Tetanui is played by Cantona Stewart, Luciana Sousa is played by Tatiana Hotere, and Nico is played by Ilai Swindells.

Has Netflix’s Surviving Summer Been Renewed for Season 2?

Surviving Summer hasn't been renewed by Netflix yet, but with the show having just premiered a few days ago, there's still time for that to change.

The teen drama was a Netflix sensation, debuting in the UK top 10 in the days following its release, so fingers crossed we'll be seeing more of the Shorehaven gang in the near future. The story may have appeared to end at the end of Season 1, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of the cast reuniting for Season 2 of the drama.

However, if it follows a more traditional release schedule, we expect it to arrive within a year, thus if the series is returning, expect more in the spring/summer of 2023. Keep an eye on this page because we'll update it as soon as more information on a second season becomes available.

Before you leave, find out who Ari ends up with.
