Production
On 15 July 2013, Channel Seven released an announcement with confirmed that A Place to Call Home had been commissioned for a second season, set to air in May 2014. Brad Lyons, the Director of Network Production at Seven stated, "A Place to Call Home has showcased drama on a scale never seen before on Australian television. It's pleasing to see such an ambitious production receive the acclaim it deserves."
Pre-production for season 2 began in August 2013. Filming for the second season began in September 2013 and wrapped in December 2013.
In June 2014, Glen Williams from TV Week reported that Channel Seven had passed on the option to renew the series and had recently told the cast and crew they would not be required for a third season. Due to this, the last episode of season two had to be hastily rewritten and filmed to accommodate the cancellation and tie up any loose storylines. However, on 25 October 2014, it was announced the show was to be revived by Foxtel for at least two more seasons. Due to the revival, it has been announced the original ending will air to give the original lead-in to season three.
