Summer Streamin' 25 - Black Snow - Season Two

Black Snow just concluded its second season, perfectly setting up a third season in the final moments. Stan however is yet to announce a third season. 

Also the two year gap between seasons one and two, may mean even if a third is announced, we will still have a wait.

Black Snow is set in and filmed throughout different locations in Queensland, Australia. Each season follows a different cold case being investigated by Detective James Cormack (Travis Fimmel) as he struggles with his own family demons.

Season two,  is titled Black Snow: Jack of Clubs, focuses on Detective Cormack investigating the missing persons case of Zoe Jacobs in 2003 in the fictional town of Moorevale. 

Cormack is simultaneously informally looking into the disappearance of his younger brother in 1994. This is where the season three set up comes into play. No spoilers though! My lips are sealed!

So what happened to Zoe Jacobs? Premiering New Year's Day with a double episode, then one episode per week on Wednesday's this is a new technique from Stan. Airing in line with the successful Stan/Channel Nine run of the Australian Open, we will see if this new style of streaming from Stan, equals more subscribers.

Travis Fimmel (Vikings, Dune: Prophecy) leads the six-part mystery-drama, and marks his directorial debut with the sixth and final episode of the series. 

He stars alongside new cast members Jana McKinnon (Stan Original Series Bad Behaviour), Megan Smart (Class of ‘07), Alana Mansour (Erotic Stories), Dan Spielman (Bad Behaviour, The Newsreader), Victoria Haralabidou (Stan Original Series The Tourist) and Kat Stewart (Offspring). 


I enjoyed this a touch more than season one. The music featured via the community radio station is EXCELLENT! Think Magic Dirt, Homebake in the late 90's, early 00's.

Stan has a good record of Aussie content. Black Snow is top notch and will hopefully fill the end of year streaming void, Bump will now leave on the streamer.

Till next time! Happy weekend after a short week.
