Production is set to begin next month in Cairns, Queensland, for the third installment of the crime drama "Black Snow", distributed by All3Media International. Travis Fimmel reprises his lead role as James Cormack in the six-part mystery produced by Goalpost Pictures. This new season moves the setting to Far North Queensland, where the protagonist investigates a deeply personal cold case involving his long-lost brother.

Joining the returning cast members George Mason and Rose Riley are new additions Lee Tiger Halley, Caroline Craig, and Samson Alston. The narrative follows Cormack as he risks his career to solve the 1999 murder of a family friend, a case that sees his brother Ritchie standing trial as the primary suspect.

All3Media International has confirmed a significant expansion of the series' international reach. AMC Networks returns as the partner for North America, while new licensing deals have been secured across EMEA and APAC. Both previous seasons have been acquired by Canal+ for its French-speaking territories and have been licensed to various broadcasters including VRT in Belgium, LNK in Lithuania, and Pickbox across the Balkans. Additional agreements have been finalized in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Latvia, and Kazakhstan.

Nine Entertainment’s Executive Director, Entertainment Content Commissioning, Michael Healy said: “Following the tremendous success of the first two seasons, we are excited to reunite with Travis Fimmel and the team at Goalpost Pictures on a brand new season of 'Black Snow'. This new season promises another unforgettable, suspenseful mystery, and we’re grateful for the continued support of our valued partners, including Screen Queensland, Screen NSW, All3Media International, and Sundance Now, and look forward to sharing this sensational new season soon.”

Goalpost Pictures’ Executive Producer Rosemary Blight said: “We are thrilled to be bringing 'Black Snow' back to Queensland, this time to the magnificent Far North, with another cold case for James Cormack, played by the incomparable Travis Fimmel, to solve. Creator Lucas Taylor and the writing team have crafted an intriguing and moving story, set in Far North Queensland’s stunning landscape, that I know will captivate audiences around the world.”

Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney said: "We are proud to be continuing our partnership with Stan and Goalpost Pictures to support the third season of Lucas Taylor’s 'Black Snow'. Its continued global success highlights the strong audience appetite for authentic Queensland screen stories and the state’s unique landscapes which are inherent to 'Black Snow'.
