EXCLUSIVE: Here’s a teaser trailer for Black Snow Season 2, the Travis Fimmel detective drama drama.
Additionally, Aussie streamer Stan has set a January 1, 2025, launch date on the return, and we have some new first-look images below. The drama will also return to U.S. audiences via AMC Networks streamer Sundance Now next year, and several distribution deals have been signed at MIPCOM.
Filmed in Queensland Australia and set among the Glasshouse Mountains, Black Snow Season 2 will see Fimmel (Vikings, Dune: Prophecy) reprise his role as Detective Cormack, with Jana McKinnon (Bad Behaviour) also set to star, as we told you first earlier this year. Also starring are Megan Smart (Class of ‘07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (Bad Behaviour, The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (The Tourist) and Kat Stewart (Offspring).
In the 40-second teaser, Fimmel is seen standing wide-eyed in a forest as McKinnon’s Zoe Jacobs appears to flash past him. He finally lays eyes on her as she stands submerged in water, only for her image to disappear in a flash with just a missing persons card floating down to where she stood. He stares at the card, as the words ‘What Happened To Zoe Jacobs?’ flash across the screen.
In the season, cold case detective Cormack investigates Zoe’s disappearance at her 21st birthday party in 2003, while simultaneously undertaking a desperate personal search for his younger brother, who went missing when they were children.
