Summer Slack Streaming - Black Snow - Season One

Black Snow starts in 1995, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated the Australian South Sea Islander community of Elizabeth.

In 1994, 17-year-old Isabel Baker (Talijah Blackman-Corowa) was murdered. The crime sent shockwaves through the small tropical North Queensland town of Ashford and devastated the Australian South Sea Islander community. The case was never solved, and the killer was never found.

25 years later, the opening of a time capsule unearths a secret that reopens the cold case and puts Detective James Cormack (Travis Fimmel) on the trail of the killer. Suspicion is cast over the entire town and fractures the harmony they have spent decades rebuilding. But can the killer actually be caught after all this time?

The six-part mystery drama centres around star Travis Fimmel (Vikings, former underwear model/hunk), Talijah Blackman-Corowa, Jemmason Power, Ziggy Ramo (singer who worked with Paul Kelly and more) & Molly Fatnowna. 

Also starring in yet another excellent Stan original, Brooke Satchwell (Mr Inbetween), Alexander England (Alien: Covenant), Erik Thomson (Packed to the Rafters), Kym Gyngell (Wakefield) plus Rob Carlton (Total Control).


Stan has really served up a total treat here. Stan has been gradually releases decent summer viewing, ever since Poker Face the random Rusty Crowe landed. Then was Bump, now Black Snow with Transfusion set to come out later this month.

Black Snow is a co-production with Sundance Now in the USA. A couple more co-productions are on the way too, so keep an eye on Stan for more originals coming soon.

The six episodes sped by, so if you need a series to quickly smash now you may or may not be at work, Black Snow could be for you. It's easily one of the best Aussie dramas of the past few years. Well done Stan for bringing more great local content!
