The Twelve | Series 2 Preview (ITVX)

The Twelve comes to Western Australia and the rural township of Tunkwell that is a world away from the urban city landscapes of the first series. When local landowner Bernice Price is found dead at the bottom of her farm well, two ex-lovers stand accused of her murder.

Twelve ordinary citizens from diverse backgrounds have been plucked from the township and surrounds to decide the fate of the co-accused - was Bernice the victim of a crime of passion, a workplace accident, or just bad luck?

Criminal barrister Brett Colby, SC, comes to Tunkwell to represent one of the accused - Patrick Harrows - while Meredith Nelson-Moore, SC, defends the other accused Sasha Price, but Colby and Meredith have more in common than just the trial and the pair’s relationship is put to the test both professionally and personally.

We explore the lives and loves of our jury members and legal team as this unique trial unfolds over six extraordinary weeks, but can our Twelve really be impartial when they come from such a tight rural community? One thing is for certain - by the time the verdict is reached, all will be irrevocably changed..

The Twelve Series 2 lands w/c 12th August on ITVX.
