The second series of the programme will see Kate and the gang head into the year 1957 with everyone determined to finally settle and feel peace and relaxation Down Under.
The show follows a group of Brits leaving post-war Britain to embark on a life-changing adventure on the other side of the world.
Now, fans don’t have long left to wait to tune into the show and catch up on all the action.
Ten Pound Poms has been handed a coveted Sunday evening slot on BBC One at 8pm.
The show will launch on Sunday 9 March and it will follow weekly on the channel.
Alternatively, fans that are desperate to see all the action in one go are in luck.
All episodes will drop on BBC iPlayer for streaming that morning meaning the show can be watched as a boxset.
