"I'm very excited to be coming home to work with darling friend Jane Campion, whose work I respect and admire. I'm also so happy to be joining the incredible Elisabeth Moss," said Kidman.

Moss was also excited about returning to the role of detective Robin Griffin, whose story picks up four years after the end of season one. An unidentified body of an Asian girl washes up on to Sydney's Bondi Beach and again the case seems hopeless, until Detective Griffin discovers that she didn't die alone.

"I can't wait for audiences to see where we take Robin's journey," Moss enthused.

Game of Thrones' Gwendoline Christie also has a major role in the mini-series. She added: "Jane Campion has been a major creative influence throughout my life and I could not feel more privileged to be working on the next instalment of her unique and enthralling drama, alongside the brilliant Elisabeth Moss."

The series will be shown on BBC First in 2017.
