Two of the original characters continued in Tandarra: Joe Brady (Gus Mercurio) and Jessica Johnson (Penne Hackforth-Jones).
[1] The other main character was Ryler (Gerard Kennedy), who had been introduced in the final episode of Cash and Company.
The title was taken from the name of the homestead owned by Jessica, and the series primarily dealt with the adventures of running the large farming property.
[2] The premise of the first series, namely that Joe and Sam were fugitives from the law and were being assisted by Jessica, was totally removed.
Patrick Edgeworth later said that the series was hurt by the fact the leads were no longer fugitives from the law, which reduced the tension.
