Elisabeth Moss returns as Detective Robin Griffin in Top of the Lake: China Girl, the follow up to Jane Campion’s excellent 2013 series, Top of the Lake.
The new season is set in Sydney and sees Griffin investigating the death of a woman found in a suitcase on Bondi Beach, leading her into a world of human trafficking and sex slavery:
“Top of the Lake: China Girl is a crime mystery story that finds Detective Robin Griffin recently returned to Sydney and trying to rebuild her life. When the body of an Asian girl washes up on Bondi Beach, there appears little hope of finding the killer, until Robin realises “China Girl” didn’t die alone. Robin looks to the investigation to restore herself, but her problems are personal. Haunted by a daughter given up at birth, Robin desperately wants to find her, yet dreads revealing the truth of her conception. But her search to discover ‘China Girl’s’ identity will take her into the city’s darkest recesses and closer than she could have imagined to the secrets of her own heart.”
Nicole Kidman, Gwendoline Christie, David Dencik, Ewen Leslie, and Alice Englert co-star.
Top of the Lake: China Girl will debut on Foxtel’s BBC First channel later this year.
