Peaky Blinders star Sam Neill's crime series The Twelve has been renewed for a third season.
The Australian drama, which has been acquired by ITV, centres around 12 jurors who grapple with their duty to deliver a verdict, while also navigating their own personal challenges.
Neill will return as barrister Brett Colby for the third instalment, which focuses on a cold case murder trial in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The state's Parliament House and ABC Studios are among the new settings for season three (via Variety).
The season will be made up of eight one-hour episodes, written by Sarah L Walker, Matt Cameron, Mia Lethbridge, Adele Vuko and Sam Meikle.
