Stan has officially released the trailer for the second season of its original series Black Snow.
The new season of this six-part mystery-drama sees Travis Fimmel (Vikings, Dune: Prophecy) returning in the lead role of Detective Cormack, while also making his directorial debut with the finale episode.
In this season, Detective Cormack, portrayed by Fimmel, is back on the hunt, tackling the cold case of Zoe Jacobs, missing since her 21st birthday in 2003, while also pursuing his own brother’s mysterious disappearance.
Season 2 of Black Snow is set to premiere with a double episode on New Year’s Day.
Watch the trailer for Black Snow – Season 2 below:
Set against Queensland’s Glasshouse Mountains, season two expands the cast with Jana McKinnon (Bad Behaviour), Megan Smart (Class of ‘07), and Dan Spielman (The Newsreader).
Returning creatives include director Sian Davies (The Gloaming), executive producer Rosemary Blight (The Invisible Man), and series creator Lucas Taylor (Harrow). Fimmel joins as a director alongside Helena Brooks (Population 11), with Talijah Blackman-Corowa contributing as director’s attachment through Screen Queensland support.
The first season of Black Snow nabbed a Logie Award nomination for Most Outstanding Drama Series in 2023 and seven AACTA nominations for 2024, where Fimmel is nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Drama.
Our reviewer Stephen Russell wrote of the first season:
‘Tightly directed by Sian Davies and Matthew Saville and created with cultural input from the local South Sea Islander community, it’s a hugely compelling mystery. It’s also handsomely shot by cinematographer Eric Murray Lui, making full use of the sunburnt location. Seamlessly weaving past and present together in a way that acknowledges the ongoing impact of blackbirding, the rustle of towering sugar cane seems to summon forth cruelly silenced voices.’
