The official trailer, Key Art and first look images for the highly anticipated second season of the award-winning series The Twelve, have been released today ahead of its 11 July world premiere on BINGE, with new episodes dropping weekly.
The Twelve comes to Western Australia, to the rural township of Tunkwell - a world away from the urban city landscapes of Season One. When local landowner and respected town matriarch, Bernice Price (Kris McQuade), is found dead at the bottom of her farm’s pump well, two ex-lovers stand accused of her murder. Twelve ordinary citizens from diverse backgrounds have been plucked from the township and its surrounds to decide the fate of the co-accused - was Bernice the victim of a crime of passion, a workplace accident or just misfortune?
Season 2 features a new crime, new jury and two ex-lovers accused of murder. Acclaimed actor Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders) returns to reprise his role as Brett Colby SC with the second season also starring Frances O’Connor (The End, The Missing) , Tasma Walton (Mystery Road, Sweet As), Kris McQuade (Rosehaven, Deadloch), Amy Mathews (A Place to Call Home, The Claremont Murders), Erroll Shand (The Clearing, Our Flag Means Death), Fayssal Bazzi (Shantaram, Stateless), Josh McKenzie (La Brea, Five Bedrooms), Anthony Brandon Wong (Queen of Oz, The Family Law), Stefanie Caccamo (Fighting Season, Three Summers), Sharon Johal (Shantaram, Girl At The Window), Luke Pegler (Ladies In Black, Hacksaw Ridge), Adriano Cappelletta (In Our Blood, Apples Never Fall), Nelson Baker (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Bad Mothers), Greg McNeill (How To Please A Woman, Kid Snow), Suesha Rana (Itch, How To Please A Woman), Brad Francis (Radio Man, Kid Snow) and Isabelle Bäsén.
