Network 10 and Nickelodeon Series Rock Island Mysteries Returns to Queensland to Film Season 2
Popular Network 10 and Nickelodeon children’s series Rock Island Mysteries has returned to the Gold Coast, with cameras now rolling on the second season.
There will be 20 new episodes of the Fremantle Australia production filmed over the next five months, supported by the Queensland Government through Screen Queensland’s Screen Finance program together with major production investment from Screen Australia.
Newly appointed Screen Queensland CEO Courtney Gibson said the series presents valuable return business from global production giant Fremantle Australia, whose other hit productions include Heartbreak High, Neighbours and Wentworth.
“We’re so pleased to have Rock Island Mysteries back on the Gold Coast! The second season sees the continuation of around 150 Queensland cast and crew jobs and will generate approximately $11.2 million direct spend in the state — delivering a total of over $20 million investment across the life of the franchise so far.
“The continuing partnership between Fremantle, Nickelodeon, Network Ten and Screen Queensland also supports an illustrious team of Queensland-based key creatives, along with Heads of Department and crew.”
Brett Popplewell, Head of Drama at Fremantle Australia, said they were delighted to start filming again in Queensland.
“Bringing Rock Island Mysteries back to Queensland for a second season is a real thrill for us. The Queensland crews are second-to-none and in a very competitive market we’re proud to have so many returning crew, as well as some well-established craftspeople joining us,” said Popplewell.
“This season we’re shooting at Pinnacle Studios in Helensvale where we’re able to access exceptional facilities on both studio stages and spacious, well-appointed offices.”
Popplewell also said that the pristine beaches and lush hinterland of the City of Gold Coast region present the ideal filming locations for the fantasy setting of Rock Island.
“The Gold Coast provides us with an astonishing array of unique locations, and we’ll again traverse beaches, quarries, marinas and use areas on Mt Tamborine in place of Rock Island’s mysterious jungles. For a kids mystery adventure show set in a tropical paradise, we couldn’t ask for a better world to make Rock Island Mysteries.”
Rock Island Mysteries is produced by Series Producer Timothy Powell and Jonah Klein of Fremantle Australia. Returning Queensland key creatives include Directors Jovita O’Shaughnessy (Darby and Joan, Home and Away) and Evan Clarry (The Bureau of Magical Things, Mako Mermaids), as well as Script Producer Stephen Vagg, Director of Photography Andrew Conder and Casting Director Tom McSweeney.
The series follows irrepressible Aussie teenager Taylor Young (Gold Coast-based singer/actor Alexa Curtis) and her friends, who are driven by a renewed motivation to find Taylor’s missing Uncle Charlie after they reconnected in a mysterious portal to another world.
Currently nominated for the 2022 AACTA Award for Best Children’s Program, Season 1 premiered on 10 Shake in May this year and has since screened on Nickelodeon in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., U.S. and around the world.
Rock Island Mysteries Season 2 is set for a 2023 release on Network 10, while Season 1 is currently streaming on 10 Play, Paramount+ in Australia and Latin America and on Binge.
Other productions supported via Screen Queensland’s Screen Finance program include Upright season 2 now on Foxtel, Mistletoe Ranch which opens in cinemas from 17 November, Barrumbi Kids launching on NITV from 18 November and recently wrapped comedy series Limbo, premiering next year on ABC TV.

10 Shake no more.
Full rebrand: Watch full episodes of TV shows for free on 10 play - Network Ten
Nickelodeon Makes A Splat With Dedicated Premium Free-To-Air Channel On Network 10.
10 Shake Rebrands To The Nickelodeon Channel From Tuesday, 1 August.
Premium Dedicated Nickelodeon Service Available Free, For The First Time Ever On Free-To-Air Television.
From Tuesday, 1 August Paramount Australia and New Zealand’s (ANZ) multichannel 10 Shake (Channel 13) will rebrand to the Nickelodeon channel, offering a free, dedicated and premium suite of Nickelodeon content for the first time on free-to-air linear television.
After a long and successful partnership in Australia with subscription television service provider Foxtel, Nickelodeon content will move in-house within Paramount ANZ’s extensive content portfolio across free-to-air channel Nickelodeon, BVOD service 10 Play and SVOD service Paramount+.
From 1 August, the dedicated Nickelodeon channel will deliver audiences a comprehensive program line-up, providing more Nick content for free across daytime and night-time viewing, offering something for everyone.
Nick Jr.’s family favourites will kick-off the daytime slate, with our heroic rescue pups from powerhouse preschool series PAW Patrol, leading mighty missions for the morning run. Joining the *paw-*some pups will be much-loved preschool properties including Blue’s Clues & You!, Baby Shark’s Big Show!, Santiago Of The Seas, Bubble Guppies and Blaze and the Monster Machines. The exciting channel refresh will also welcome preschool series Bossy Bear and season three of Ryan’s Mystery Playdate for their free-to-air debut.
For the afternoon kick-back, our loveable SpongeBob SquarePants will be back for more under the sea adventures, while audiences will be delighted with more comedy and action-adventures from household titles such as The Loud House, The Thundermans, the original iCarly, The Casagrandes and Danger Force.
Plus, the Nickelodeon channel will showcase all-new animated comedy series for the first time on free-to-air including Middlemost Post, The Smurfs, Monster High and Transformers: EarthSpark.
Into the evenings, the Nickelodeon channel transforms into Nick@Nite offering premium content for mature audiences. The primetime Nick@Nite format will feature The Graham Norton Show, Gogglebox UK, The Middle and an assortment of movies from Paramount’s library of entertainment including franchises Mission Impossible, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes and Transformers.
Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President, Kids & Family for International Markets at Paramount said: “As the number-one entertainment brand for kids, Nickelodeon is home to the world’s most beloved characters and stories for kids of all ages. We are thrilled to bring our deep library of content direct to fans in Australia for free as we launch this new Nickelodeon channel.”
Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content & Programming, Paramount ANZ, said: “From television programming and production around the world, to consumer products, digital, location-based experiences and events, gaming, publishing and feature films, Nickelodeon offers something for everyone and now it is accessible to everyone on our free-to-air Nickelodeon channel.”
To complement Nickelodeon’s free-to-air channel offering, Paramount+ will continue to host an array of Nickelodeon properties and exclusive first-run titles including hit series revival iCarly, Big Nate, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, plus the all-new YA full-length original movie Zoey 102, streaming soon.
It was bound to happen eventually. 10Shake has had miserable overnight ratings since its inception.
Am surprised though that 10 are moving away from “10 X” for their multichannels.
Actually surprised they didn’t go with Nickelodeon (or MTV for that matter) originally.
(EDIT: And just reading the existing Nickelodeon thread, a partnership with Foxtel might’ve been that hurdle).
Interesting move indeed.
What does it mean for shows like South Park, and encores of 10’s shows like HYBPA and The Cheap Seats?
They’d be in Nick@Nite
I thought they were going to name it 10 Nick at the very least.
