The trailer for Black Snow, an upcoming mystery series that stars Travis Fimmel (Vikings, Raised by Wolves), was just released by Sundance Now and AMC+. The two-episode premiere of Black Snow will air on Thursday, Feb. 23, on Sundance Now and AMC+. New episodes of the series will roll out weekly, and the series synopsis reads as follows:
The sneak peek of the series gives viewers a glimpse into the world of Detective James Cormack, played by Fimmel. As a skilled and methodical cold-case detective, Cormack is on a mission to solve the murder of Isabel Barker, which happened back in 1994. Despite the case being open for 25 years, Cormack is determined to bring closure to Isabel’s family and friends by uncovering the truth behind her tragic death. Take a look at the trailer, courtesy of Sundance Now, below:
“Part coming-of-age drama and part whodunit, Black Snow follows the mystery of a small-town murder that rocked the Australian South Sea Islander community. In 1994, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked her tight-knit community and left the town devastated. The case was never solved, the killer never found. In 2020, the opening of a time capsule unearths a secret that puts cold-case detective James Cormack (Fimmel) on the trail of the killer.”
