The 10 part series, based on a Belgian drama, centres around jurors who must decide the fate of a woman accused of murdering a child.

Brian Walsh, Executive Director – Foxtel Group said: “The Twelve features an epic and diverse ensemble cast that reflects contemporary Australia. The Jurors, twelve ordinary people who behind the façade of their anonymity, bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice – a must watch in 2022”.

Michael Brooks, Managing Director – Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia said: “Covering a murder trial through the eyes of everyday jurors gives us the perfect platform to tell topical, relatable and gripping stories of characters with varying backgrounds, histories and motives. Our twelve jurors are a brilliant mix of talent that have fully embraced their characters and are looking to make them their own.”

Production is currently underway in Sydney, produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia in partnership with Easy Tiger with major production investment from Screen Australia. Financed with support from Screen NSW.
