The first look images of Travis Fimmel (Vikings) and Jana McKinnon (Bad Behaviour) in the brand new season of Black Snow have been released. The series is currently filming in Queensland.
The brand new six-part mystery-drama produced by Goalpost Pictures and set in the Glasshouse Mountains sees Travis Fimmel reprise his role as Detective Cormack and joined by new cast members McKinnon, Megan Smart (Class of ‘07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (Bad Behaviour, The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (The Tourist) and Kat Stewart (Offspring).
In this returning season, Detective Cormack tackles two separate missing persons cases. One is professional, as he investigates the disappearance of Zoe Jacobs (McKinnon), who disappeared from her own 21st birthday party in 2003. And the other is personal, as Cormack searches desperately for his own younger brother, who went missing when they were children.
Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie said: “Following the enormous success of the first season of Black Snow we are thrilled to be working with the team at Goalpost Pictures and the incredible cast, led by Travis, on another gripping season. We thank our partners at Screen NSW, Screen Queensland, the City of Gold Coast and All3Media and look forward to sharing the new season with audiences soon.”
Travis Fimmel said: “I think Australian film and television has never been stronger. Now, with the addition of streaming networks and their reach, I’m so proud that our local productions and their hard work can be recognised not only here, but around the world. I’m excited to be a part of another season of Black Snow and showing off what Australians have to offer. That, and I’m happy to have free food and a job.”
Executive Producer Rosemary Blight said: “We are thrilled to be working with Stan again and back in Queensland filming the second season of Black Snow. The audience response in Australia and around the world to series one was incredible and we can’t wait to bring this new story with this wonderful group of actors to the screen – including Travis Fimmel who is once again utterly compelling in the role of Cormack.”
Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney said: “We are proud to support the
second season of this internationally acclaimed series created by Queensland’s Lucas Taylor. Black Snow is infused with the unique communities and landscapes of the sunshine state and is also providing vital career paths for emerging Queensland creatives and crew through our Attachment program.”
Head of Screen NSW Kyas Hepworth said: “Following the groundbreaking first season of Black Snow, Screen NSW are delighted to support the next instalment, produced by renowned NSW based company Goalpost Pictures, who continue to bring this strong, distinctive, Australian drama to global audiences.”
After a critically acclaimed first season, director Sian Davies (The Gloaming), executive producer Rosemary Blight (The Invisible Man), and series creator Lucas Taylor (Harrow) return to the series, with Helena Brooks (Population 11) joining as director. Season one lead actor Talijah Blackman-Corowa joins the second season as director’s attachment. The first season of Black Snow was nominated for Most Outstanding Drama Series at the 2023 Logie Awards and received two nominations at the 2024 AACTA Awards – Best Drama Series and Best Lead Actor in a Drama for Travis Fimmel.
