Production on the new seasons commenced earlier this month. Joining Shindler and Chalmers for seasons two and three are the New Zealand writers Sam Shore, Martha Hardy-Ward, Hamish Bennett and Briar Grace-Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Macey Chipping (<em>Holby City<\/em>, <em>Vampire Academy<\/em>) returns in the lead role of Issie Brown and is joined again by Antonia Robinson, Max Crean, Jacqueline Joe (<em>Top of the Lake<\/em>), Josh Tan (<em>Mulan<\/em>, <em>Tales of Nai Nai<\/em>) and Harriet Walton.<\/p>\n<p>In the new seasons, Issie and her gang of horse-enthusiast friends will have to tackle the usual trials and tribulations of being a teenager as well as battling against new and unexpected threats to their beloved stables and local environment. In season two, they\u2019ll face the arrival of a charismatic stranger and an intriguing mystery after a valuable racehorse is poisoned. Issie will also start to get confusing visions of the future from ghost horse Mystic, and her rescue of the wild herd in season one has attracted destructive tourists to Kauri Point.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Fletcher, managing director of Libertine Pictures, said: \u201cWe are thrilled that CBBC and TVNZ are supporting two additional seasons of the show. It is exciting to be able to bring fans of <em>Mystic<\/em> more adventure, humor and horses with our Kauri Point characters. We\u2019re delighted that <em>Mystic<\/em> has developed its own following off the back of Stacy Gregg\u2019s hugely successful <em>Pony Club Secrets<\/em> books. With pre-production already well underway in New Zealand we\u2019re looking forward to showcasing New Zealand and British talent and our beautiful country to an even wider international audience with two more compelling series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Crawford-Collins, managing director of Slim Film + Television and executive producer, said: \u201cIt\u2019s cracking news to get a double recommission of <em>Mystic<\/em>.
