      Nayuka Gorrie was a writer on the second season.


      International broadcast


      In the United Kingdom, the first season of The Heights began broadcasting on BBC One in June 2020, during the Doctors summer break. The second season was shown directly after the conclusion of the first, with several episodes airing before their premiere on ABC. In Ireland, RTÉ One began broadcasting double episodes of season one on 10 August 2020, as a summer replacement for Today with Maura and Daithi.


      Reception


      Colin Vickery of the Herald Sun was unhappy with "the smart alec" at ABC who scheduled the episodes into one-hour blocks during the first season. He went onto praise the series, writing "This gritty little urban drama, with its strong multicultural cast, plays like an edgier version of Neighbours or Home and Away. I'm especially enjoying seeing Mad as Hell's Roz Hammond in a serious dramatic role as mum Claudia Rosso."
