Black Snow on Stan – Stan, Australia’s unrivalled home of original productions, today released first look images of Travis Fimmel (Vikings) and Jana McKinnon (Stan Original Series Bad Behaviour) in the brand new season of the Stan Original Series Black Snow, 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 (Stan Original Series Bad Behaviour, The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (Stan Original Series 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.”
