Production On 5 July 2011, it was announced that Seven had renewed Winners & Losers for a second season to air in 2012. Filming for the second season began on 23 August 2011 and completed on 5 April 2012. Bevan Lee, the creator of Winners & Losers, told the Herald Sun's Colin Vickery that viewers would see big changes in the new season. He said "We turn the girls' lives on their heads in a pretty major way in the final episode (of series one). That will give us a new launching pad for season two." Zoe Tuckwell-Smith told a TV Week reporter that the new season would see the girls get different individual storylines. Tuckwell-Smith added that she had filmed limited scenes with Melissa Bergland, who plays Bec's best friend, Jenny. Of her character's journey, Bergland revealed "Jenny is falling in love and getting everything she ever wanted ... and then ruining her life! She's doing everything in two years that everyone else has done over 10. She's 28 next season, and she's catching up." The actress commented that Winners & Losers felt like it had grown up a bit. The season began airing on 26 June 2012 in the 8:30 pm timeslot on Tuesdays.
