BBC Acquires Australian Crime Drama Black Snow

News Image
The BBC has acquired Australian crime drama Black Snow for BBC Four and BBC iPlayer.

The six-part series stars Travis Fimmel (Vikings, Danger Close), Jemmason Power, Talijah Blackman-Corowa, Eden Cassady, Seini Willett and Gulliver McGrath (Dark Shadows, Lincoln).

A small-town Australian high-school gathers for the ceremonial opening of a time-capsule buried by a class some 20 years ago, shortly after the murder of class-member Isabelle Baker. Isabelle’s family and the police are shocked when the capsule is opened to reveal cryptic messages in Isabelle’s written statement.

These messages and other long-lost items suggest Isabelle had known she was in danger in the days leading to her murder. The case is re-opened causing heartache for the family and raising questions that certain people would rather not answer.

Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, said: "Australia's South Sea Island community is the fascinating setting for this dark and haunting murder mystery – its twists and turns will keep viewers guessing until the very end."

Black Snow was acquired by the BBC from All3Media International. It was produced by Goalpost Pictures for Stan, Australia and Sundance Now US.
