Production for the third season of “The Twelve” has commenced in Western Australia, a collaboration between Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia and Easy Tiger. The new season will be set in the beautiful Margaret River region and Perth surrounds, including notable locations such as Parliament House and ABC Studios.
Sam Neill will reprise his role as Brett Colby SC, as the series looks into the lives of the jury during a cold case murder trial. Season 2 left a significant impact on Western Australia’s economy, becoming the largest production in the state and creating over 650 jobs with a $9.6 million injection.
Season 3 is expected to contribute a similar economic boost, with an estimated $10 million investment and a substantial number of job opportunities. The season will consist of eight one-hour episodes, written by a team that includes Sarah L. Walker, Matt Cameron, Mia Lethbridge, Adele Vuko, and Sam Meikle.
The series will be setup-directed by Madeleine Gottlieb and Mark Joffe, with casting by Kirsty McGregor and Will Pearce.
Producers include Hamish Lewis and Michael Brooks for Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia, and Ally Henville, Ian Collie, and Rob Gibson for Easy Tiger. Executive producers are Sarah L. Walker, Sam Neill, Alison Hurbert-Burns, and Penny Win.
“The Twelve” has been commissioned by Foxtel Group, with Head of Scripted, Lana Greenhalgh, overseeing the project. The series is produced in partnership with major production investment from Screenwest and the Western Australian Production Attraction Incentive, and global distribution by Fifth Season.
