The Twelve Adds to Season Three Cast

Cameras are rolling in Western Australia on season three of the Binge anthology series The Twelve, which sees Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders) reprise his role as Brett Colby SC.

Serving as the jury are Ewen Leslie (The Cry, Top of the Lake China Girl), Phoenix Raei (The Night Agent, Clickbait), Hanah Tayeb (Miles From Nowhere, Raised by Refugees season two), Nathalie Morris (Bump, We Were Dangerous), Catherine Moore (Runt, How to Please a Woman), Bolude Watson (Hearts and Bones, Swift Street), Bessie Holland (Fisk, Wentworth), Stuart Daulman (Five Bedrooms, Utopia), Paul Tassone (Poker Face, The Code), Charles Napoleon An (Narrow Road to the Deep North, Last King of The Cross), Libby Stone (The Claremont Murders, Blue Heelers) and newcomer Claire Leach.

The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer also features Danielle Cormack (Wentworth, Year Of), Eryn Jean Norvill (Love Me, Preppers), Sarah Peirse (Stateless, We Went Up the Hill) and William Zappa (The Dry, Population: 11).

Supporting cast includes Tracy Mann (Top End Bub, Latecomers), with Kaila Ferrelli (The Twelve season two) returning as Colby’s legal assistant, alongside Marlon Williams (A Star is Born, Sweet Tooth) and Hannah Diviney (Latecomers, Audrey).

Neill said, “Well, here we go again! Delighted to be stepping back into Colby’s shoes, and a privilege to join this brilliant bunch of actors. Hats off to Sarah Walker, who’s spun another cracking story full of secrets, twists and some rather inconvenient truths. It’s all gripping stuff, I promise. Also, let’s take a moment of appreciation for Perth and the pretty Margaret River region. Get ready to binge our new show when it hits your screens next year.”

Cormack commented, “As a fan of previous seasons, joining my fellow Kiwi Sam Neill and the enormous ensemble cast on this anthology series has been a joy. It’s been such a privilege to work on a local drama that is gripping, full of intrigue and features wonderfully drawn characters. The direction and crew of this season has been outstanding, and I’ve relished going head-to-head with Sam in the courtroom.”

Alison Hurbert-Burns, commissioner and executive director for entertainment content at Foxtel Group, added, “Returning for its third season, The Twelve again gathers an impressive ensemble of Australian actors. With more twists and turns and a mystery dating back to the 1960s, we’re excited to bring The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer to screens next year.”

The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer will feature eight one-hour episodes written by Sarah L. Walker, Matt Cameron, Mia Lethbridge, Adele Vuko and Sam Meikle. The series will be directed by Madeleine Gottlieb (Erotic Stories, Latecomers), with emerging director Emma Jackson (The Twelve season two, Joan) helming episodes five and six, supported by Screen Australia’s Career Placement program.

Season three has been commissioned by Foxtel Group and will be overseen by its head of scripted, Lana Greenhalgh. The series will be produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia and Easy Tiger with major production investment from Screenwest and the Western Australian Production Attraction Incentive.
