The Twelve, the popular Australian TV show, has officially been renewed for a third season.
Starring Sam Neill, production for The Twelve’s third season has already started and will feature eight one-hour episodes.
At this stage, no release date for season three has formally been announced. In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about The Twelve — including where to watch the first two seasons in Australia.
Where can I watch The Twelve in Australia?
Both the first and second seasons are available to watch on Binge.
Stream The Twelve now on BINGE from $10/mth, with a 7-day free trial.
Is The Twelve a true story in Australia?
Despite its compelling narrative, no, The Twelve is a completely fictional TV show.
Are there two versions of The Twelve?
Technically, yes. The Twelve is an Australian remake of the 2019 Belgian TV show De Twaalf (which translates to ‘The Twelve’ in English).
However, while both television shows follow the 12 jurors deliberating on a murder trial, the plots are quite different.
In the original version, the series focuses on the trial of Frie Palmers. Frie was a school headmistress accused of two murders committed many years apart. Those of her best friend in 2000 and her daughter in 2016.
Whereas the Australian version focuses on the trial of Kate Lawson — who is accused of killing her 14-year-old niece.
Who stars in the TV show The Twelve?
The series has a seriously impressive cast.
Lead by Sam Neill, season one stars Kate Mulvany, Marta Dusseldorp, Brendan Cowell, Brooke Satchwell, Hazem Shammas, Pallavi Sharda, Ngali Shaw, Catherine Van-Davies, Damien Strouthos, Nicholas Cassim, James Lugton, Bishanyia Vincent, Gennie Nevinson and Toby Blome.
