Sigrid previously admitted she is “absolutely thrilled ” to return to her beloved role.
“Time has passed and the world has changed, so as we revisit this rich and strange place I trust we’ll all delight in the chance to explore how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go,” she said.
“I can hardly wait.”
Andy Ryan, Channel Nine’s co-Head of Drama, said: “Two decades after SeaChange changed the face of Australian drama, Pearl Bay is still a hotbed of romance, mateship and community spirit.
“With plenty of fresh faces the new challenges, SeaChange is perfect family entertainment.”
It’s been two decades since SeaChange last aired.
