AMC+ and Sundance Now released the first two photos from the upcoming second season of Black Snow as shooting is underway in Queensland. The photos feature returning series star Travis Fimmel (Vikings) as Detective Cormack and series newcomer Jana McKinnon (Bad Behaviour) as Zoe Jacobs.
Season one premiered in December 2022. Sundance Now hasn’t announced a launch date for the six-episode second season.
“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,” said Fimmel. “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.”
In addition to McKinnon, new season two stars include Megan Smart (Class of ’07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (Bad Behaviour), Victoria Haralabidou (Tourist), and Kat Stewart (Offspring). Lucas Taylor created the mystery drama which earned a 2023 Logie Awards nomination and two 2024 AACTA Awards nominations. Season two is a Goalpost Pictures production and is produced in association with Stan and All3Media International.
“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,” stated executive producer Rosemary Blight.
Director Sian Davies and Helena Brooks direct season two episodes.
Sundance Now offered this brief description of the new season: “In this second 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.”
