Elizabeth Moss may have found herself hiding behind an umbrella, thanks to wet weather in Sydney but the gloomy day didn't certainly didn't seem to put a dampener on her day.

The 33-year-old American actress was seen laughed with the crew as she filmed scenes for the action-packed BBC mystery drama series Top Of The Lake on Monday. 

Dressed in a loose fitted navy blue blouse she was surrounded by crew members who were bundled up in jackets to beat the cool autumn weather.

Elizabeth was seen with a bright smile across her face as a crew member appeared to put a microphone on her, prior to the cameras rolling.

Elizabeth plays Detective Robin Griffin and she appeared to be wearing very little makeup for the day of filming. 

Her cropped brunette tresses looked windswept and messily styled as she braved the elements and hid behind an umbrella.

The 37-year-old actress, known for her role as chain mail-wearing warrior Brienne of Tarth in HBO's Game Of Thrones, has been a regular on set since filming started in Bondi. 

Filming on Monday appeared to be more casual than previous scenes which have seen the pair causing a commotion on the busy beach waving their badges and guns.

As the crew set up the equipment and prepared the set, Elizabeth dropped her stern police detective character and appeared to have a lively chat with the crew members. 

Season two of Top Of The Lake will pick up four years after where season one ended.

The plot revolves around a case involving an unidentified body of an Asian girl which washes up on Sydney's Bondi Beach.

Speaking to News Corp last month Elizabeth said: 'I'm so excited to be back in Australia. I can't wait for audiences to see where we take Robin's journey.'
