Director Sian Davies, executive producer Rosemary Blight and series creator Lucas Taylor return for season two, with Helena Brooks directing. Lead actor Talijah Blackman-Corowa from the first season joins the second season as director.
Goalpost Pictures produces the series. The new season is produced in partnership with All3Media International, which sells the series, and Sundance Now, with funding from Screen Queensland, Screen NSW and City of Gold Coast. Executive producers for Stan are Cailah Scobie and Amanda Duthie.
In July 2022, there was first news about the series, which was then planned as a limited series. The AACTA and Logie-nominated series was shown on Stan in Australia, AMC Networks streamer Sundance Now in the US and the BBC in the UK. A second season was ordered as part of Stan's final programming, which was unveiled last month.
“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,” said Stan Chief Creative Officer Scobie.
The recast is the latest example of a high-profile Australian scripted series, with Stan and Binge attracting major on- and off-screen talent for well-funded productions.
“Australian film and television has never been stronger,” said Fimmel. “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.”
Goalpost’s Blight added: “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.”
