According to Herald Sun, a second series has already been written. Which is about a month or so away from premiering on TEN

The article says that a second season is [apparently] being written, it doesnât say that is HAS been written.

It looks quite good. So if a second season is being written, Ten have full confidence in it.

###Welcome To The Wrong Girl.
TENâs Exciting, Fresh New Drama Starring Jessica Marais.
Premieres Wednesday 28 September At 8.30pm. On TEN And WIN Network.
Network Ten is delighted to announce the highly anticipated new contemporary drama, The Wrong Girl, will premiere on Wednesday, 28 September at 8.30pm.
Based on the hit book by Zoë Foster Blake, The Wrong Girl follows the life of 29-year-old breakfast television producer Lily Woodward, played by Jessica Marais. Like everyone, Lily wants a life rich in romance, a dynamic career and a happy family, but getting there is complicated.
Jessica Marais said: âIâm thrilled to bring the character of Lily Woodward to life. She is fun, confident, determined, quick to react and disarmingly charismatic. I hope audiences love her as much as I do.
âIt has been a pleasure working with the exceptional cast and crew, and Iâm incredibly proud to be involved in this fresh and exciting new dramaâ.
Joining Jessica is a stellar cast including Craig McLachlan, Kerry Armstrong, Madeleine West, Hamish Blake, Doris Younane, Steve Vizard, Rob Collins, Ian Meadows, Hayley Magnus, Kevin Harrington, Leah Vandenberg, Christie Whelan Browne, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, David Woods and Cecelia Peters.
Network Ten Head of Drama, Rick Maier, said: âWeâve waited years to find the right vehicle for Jessica Marais, and itâs a great joy to welcome her to TEN.
âIf youâve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes on a morning breakfast show, then this is the show for you. The Wrong Girl is fresh, funny, romantic and â we hope â does justice to ZoĂ« Foster Blakeâs brilliant book.
Author ZoĂ« Foster Blake said: âHaving your novel made into a TV show is one thing, but having the very best writers, cast and crew create that TV show, and for it to air on Network Ten, well, thatâs another thing entirely. I canât wait for Australia to see The Wrong Girl. It and Jessica Marais in particular are everything I hoped for: funny, heartfelt, relevant and authentic."
The Wrong Girl is for anyone who has diligently played by the rules, only to realise everyone else is playing a different game.

It will be hard to fill the shoes of Offspring but looks like The Wong Girl may get some positive reviews which might help.

A further special dedicated website for The Wrong Girlâs morning show, The Breakfast Bar, will feature on tenplay. Full of funny excerpts, bloopers, bonus scenes and exclusive videos, The Breakfast Bar mini-website will launch following the dramaâs premiere on TEN.
Network Ten General Manager, Digital, Liz Baldwin, said: âThe demand for home-grown Australian drama on tenplay is exceptional and weâre excited to offer our digital audiences a special look at the first episode of The Wrong Girl.â
I like the sound of the mini-site for The Breakfast Bar, testing out to see if this format could work in real life? 
Craig McLachlan is actually made for breakfast tv and Madaleine West has been a real surprise packet when she has been on Studio10. Wake Up take 2?
Bizarre decision not to launch Wrong Girl straight off the back of Offspringâs finale and The Bachelorette premiere.

Or maybe itâs allowed people to see how average Doctor Doctor is so theyâll give it a miss and watch Wrong Girl.

I think the reason is because the premiere episode of The Bachelorette is so long. Itâs schedule to run 7.30pm to 9.15pm and knowing how late these things can drag on will probably finish at 9.30pm. Too late for the launch of The Wrong Girl.

The Bachelorette premiere runs until 9:15 in the schedule, so probably too late to start a drama. I suppose Ten could have made a shorter opening ep for the reality show.
This wonât end up like Wonderland ?
Also, having it on Tenplay, wonât that lower audience numbers as people wonât watch it on tv that night?
This show is miles ahead of Wonderland in terms of premise, quality & casting. I donât believe premiering the first episode on tenplay affected Offsprings season premiere where they did the same thing not long ago.
Also 9 seem to do it with their shows on 9Now also, generally it builds excitement about the show, gets people talking about it on social media & through friend networks so they probably hope that people like it enough to tune in again on the night.

I think theyâre limiting the amount of people who can watch on Tenplay⊠it is a finite window of opportunity as well.
I caught the offspring premiere but it was only available for like 24 hours and only 20,000 people could watch it, or something along those lines so barely impact on the broadcast premiere.

Just watched the first episode on tenplay. Jessica (Lily) is an absolute stand out in this, Iâve not watched any of her previous work but sheâs fantastic. Will probably watch it again on the tv next week to see it in HD and really looking forward to the rest of the episodes. I reckon TEN are on to a winner here, especially as a lead out from The Bachelorette.
