Watch the Full Trailer for Black Snow Season 2 as Travis Fimmel Returns as Detective Cormack

Stan is gearing up for a spectacular start to 2025. Today, the streaming giant dropped the highly anticipated trailer for Season 2 of its original mystery-drama, Black Snow. Fans will be able to catch the new season when it premieres exclusively on Stan on New Year’s Day in 2025, with new episodes dropping weekly after that.

Leading the charge once again is Aussie actor Travis Fimmel, best known for his roles in Vikings and the upcoming Dune: Prophecy. Fimmel returns as Detective Cormack, a cold-case investigator with a knack for uncovering long-buried secrets. The new season sees Cormack diving into not one but two heart-wrenching mysteries: the disappearance of Zoe Jacobs (Jana McKinnon) and the personal quest to find his younger brother, who vanished when they were kids.

Season 2 unfolds in Queensland’s stunning Glasshouse Mountains and will feature new faces joining the cast. Megan Smart (Class of ’07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (The Tourist), and Kat Stewart (Offspring) all join Fimmil in the new season.

Sian Davies (The Gloaming), executive producer Rosemary Blight (The Invisible Man), and series creator Lucas Taylor (Harrow) return to helm Black Snow season two. New to the director’s chair is Helena Brooks (Population 11), while season one star Talijah Blackman-Corowa takes on the role of director’s attachment, supported by Screen Queensland. Fimmel will even take the director’s chair for an episode this season in his directorial debut.

The first season of Black Snow was a runaway success, gaining international acclaim and a nomination for Most Outstanding Drama Series at the 2023 Logie Awards. It also scored seven AACTA nominations, including Best Drama Series and Best Lead Actor for Travis Fimmel. The series has already captivated audiences worldwide, screening in the US on Sundance Now and even taking home the Screen Business Export Award at the Australian Screen Producer Awards.

Produced by Goalpost Pictures, in association with All3Media International and Sundance Now, the second season of Black Snow promises even more thrills and suspense. Supported by Screen Queensland, Screen NSW, and the City of Gold Coast, the series will also return to U.S. screens via AMC Networks’ Sundance Now in 2025.

Travis Fimmel To Make Directorial Debut In ‘Black Snow’ Season 2; Watch Trailer For Australian Drama’s Return

Travis Fimmel, known for his iconic roles in fantasy worlds, will make his directorial debut in the final episode of Black Snow’s second season. Season 2 of Sundance Now and Australian streamer Stan’s mystery-drama, set in Australia’s northern Queensland and following the actor as cold case detective James Cormack, will see Fimmel directing the sixth and final episode. Production on the new run got underway in April.

You can get an exclusive first look at the Season 2 trailer, which shows Fimmel’s Detective Cormack tackling two missing persons cases—one a professional investigation into the disappearance of a young woman (Jana McKinnon), who hasn’t been seen for over 20 years, and the other a desperate hunt for his own younger brother, who went missing when they were children.

The trailer begins with a therapist asking Cormack, “Shall we try this again…? Why did you become a cop?” He responds by staring intensely before saying, “Survival.” What follows are a series of scenes that lay out how Zoe Jacobs (McKinnon), a 21-year-old Queenslander, went missing in 2003 and the new evidence suggesting she may still be alive. Flashbacks of her life intersperse with Cormack’s investigation, while a pair of well-dressed unknown people anxiously discuss how Cormack has “pressure points we can exploit.”

The trailer ends with the therapist asking Cormack, “How do you control this anger?” With a tortured smile, Cormack replies, “Barely.”

The show returns to Stan on New Year’s Day (January 1) with a double episode. Filmed in Queensland and set amongst the Glasshouse Mountains, it comes from Goalpost Pictures, which produces for Stan in association with All3Media and Sundance Now. Screen Queensland, Screen NSW, and City of Gold Coast.

Launch on Sundance We haven’t set the launch date yet, but it will occur in 2025. Season 1 was AACTA- and Logie-nominated, and All3Media sold the rights to the UK, Canada, Africa, the Middle East, New Zealand, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, and Iceland.
