When does The Twelve season two release?
The second season of the hit Binge series will release on July 11, 2024.
What true story is The Twelve based on?
The Twelve is not based on a true story.
For those hunting a true crime story, this series is not the place to look. The Australian version of the series was inspired by a Belgian series created by Bert Van Dael and Sanne Nuyens.
The original series did, however, involve a lot of research on the judicial system from its creators.

“We put a lot of time in the research of our show. We really wanted to get to know how it felt inside a jury room. How much bias do we take with us? Every person has a background. How much of personal background defines our judgements? These were the ultimate questions for us while developing the series,” they said in an interview with Variety.
Who is the cast for The Twelve season two?
Acclaimed actor Sam Neill returns as Brett Colby in the new season, joined by Frances O’Connor, Tasma Walton, Kris McQuade, Amy Mathews, Erroll Shand, Fayssal Bazzi, Josh McKenzie, Anthony Brandon Wong, Stefanie Caccamo, Luke Pegler, Adriano Cappelletta, Nelson Baker, Greg McNeill, Suesha Rana, Brad Francis, and Isabelle Basen.
Unfortunately, fan-favourites Brooke Satchwell and Kate Mulvany will not be returning for a second season.
The Block’s Sharon Johal has landed the role as a juror, and revealed she cried after hearing the news.

“It’s quality TV – with quality writers, directors and cast, and it kind of reminds me of BBC dramas,” she told TV WEEK. “I just felt so special. I was out to dinner with Ankur when I got the phone call and we both cried.”
“I can hands down say this was the best set I’ve ever worked on. The work, obviously, but also the people. It’s so inclusive.”
Where to watch The Twelve:
The Twelve is available for streaming on Binge in Australia. The first season is available for first time watchers – or those simply wanting to rewatch the series.
