Binge has released the official trailer and first-look images for The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer, the third chapter in its courtroom anthology.
Premiering 4 August, the new season sees Sam Neill reprise his role as defence barrister Brett Colby SC – and this time, he’s drawn into a trial that hits close to home.
Set in the coastal town of Cape Rock, the eight-part drama follows Colby as he defends the husband of a lifelong friend, who stands accused of a brutal murder.
But what begins as a single trial soon spirals into something deeper: the unearthing of a decades-old cold case involving the 1968 deaths of two teenagers. As the jurors grapple with the facts of the case, their own lives are irrevocably altered.
