The thought of jury duty will fill any person with dread but the return of groundbreaking Australian legal drama The Twelve is something we can all celebrate.
Following a stellar first season starring Brooke Satchwell and a sweep of the 2023 Logie Awards, the gripping crime drama is back for season two with a new controversial murder trial seen through the eyes of the 12 jurors.
And the good news keeps coming as season one lead and Aussie treasure, Sam Neill, is back as criminal barrister Brett Colby. This time, he's teaming up with another Australian legend of the screen, Frances O’Connor, who stars alongside him as defence lawyer Meredith Nelson-Moore.
The accused are portrayed by A Place to Call Home's Amy Mathews and The Clearing's Erroll Shand.
The twelve jury members feature an array of Aussie talent like Mystery Road's Tasma Walton, Five Bedrooms' Josh McKenzie, The Family Law's Anthony Brandon Wong, Fighting Season's Stefanie Caccamo and Neighbours star, Sharon Johal.
Season two will see a change of scenery for The Twelve: swapping the urban sprawl of Western Sydney for regional Western Australia.
