First look at Travis Fimmel’s new role in gripping Stan Original Series Black Snow

Streaming giant Stan dropped the trailer for its upcoming thriller Black Snow, starring Travis Fimmel, on Wednesday. 

The American-based Vikings star returned to Australia to film his role in the gripping mini-series.

Travis, 43, sports a rugged look in the show, in which he plays a detective investigating a 30-year-old unsolved murder in North Queensland.

The trailer opens with a voiceover of Travis’ character discussing his work on the difficult case.

‘The biggest challenge with cold cases is finding out who people were back then,’ he says.

It then shows him speaking to local residents in a bid to separate the truth from lies.

It looks set to be edge-of-your-seat viewing with the American-based Vikings star returning to Australia to film his role in the gripping mini-series 

Fimmel will star alongside Brooke Satchwell (Mr Inbetween), Alexander England (Alien: Covenant) and comedian Rob Carlton.

Other cast members include Kym Gyngell, Erik Thomson and rapper Ziggy Ramo, who is making his screen debut in the series.

The role of Detective Cormack will be a change of pace for Fimmel, a former Calvin Klein model who found fame on The History Channel series Vikings in 2013.
