What is The Twelve about?
The Twelve is a twist on a classic courtroom drama.
It follows the lives of 12 people who are part of a jury in a murder case where a woman is accused of killing her teenage niece.
The drama follows the juror’s individual stories as well as getting to the bottom of the murder case.
The jurors are being trusted to be impartial, but is that really the case?
Speaking about the drama, Sam Neill said: “It’s always 12 ordinary women and men and 12 ordinary lives – but of course, no life is ordinary.
“Everyone has their own story, and there’s some very graphic stories in this drama.
“The idea to explore the lives simultaneously with that of the crime itself is pretty unusual.
“That’s a departure from what we usually see. But the idea that those lives (are) intersecting the case itself and ultimately influencing the decision that they make is something worth exploring, and I think makes for pretty good drama.”
Where was The Twelve filmed?
The Twelve was filmed in Australia.
Filming took place in and around Sydney, Australia, with locations including the Parramatta suburb.
Scenes were also filmed at ABC Studios in the suburb of Artarmon.
