Black Snow On The Horizon

The first trailer for a highly anticipated television series filmed in Proserpine dropped in late November – and Proserpinians will be able to spot the local locales.

The Stan Original Series Black Snow will premiere on January 1 on the streaming network, having filmed entirely within Proserpine for roughly four months and utilising 350 local extras – a few familiar faces.

Promising to be a “gripping drama”, Black Snow stars Australian actor Travis Fimmel alongside newcomers Talijah Blackman-Corowa, Jemmason Power, Molly Fatnowna, and Eden Cassady.

The drama mystery series is set in the small, fictional North Queensland town of Ashford, with Proserpine acting as its stand in. In the trailer, local audiences are treated to snippets of the story, as well as snippets of their hometown.

The atmospheric teaser shows off Proserpine Cemetery, aerial shots of surrounding cane fields and the Conway National Park abound, recognisable Proserpine side streets, and even the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal.

The story follows a group of high schoolers working on creating a time capsule in 1994. But, one week before the time capsule is set to be buried, a student, Isabel Baker, is murdered.

After 25 years, the case still unsolved, the time capsule is unearthed and reveals a letter from Isabel that shakes the town to its bones – which is where our Detective Sergeant James Cormack (Fimmel) comes in.

In six, hour-long episodes, Fimmel goes on a thrilling hunt for the killer, and treks through Proserpine while he does it.

A potential further economic boon for the region by enticing tourism, Black Snow will drop on Stan on New Year’s Day.
