"The Twelve" season 2 is another courtroom drama but it's not just another courtroom drama. Tunkwell matriarch Bernice Price is dead. Two ex-lovers stand accused. 

Brett Colby (Sam Neill) represents one of them while Meredith Nelson-Moore (Frances O'Connor) defends the other - will their personal relationship stand up to the professional differences of opinion? What issues and pressures do the members of the jury have? 

Obviously, there is a whodunnit element - perhaps even a question mark surrounding the involvement of anybody else at all - but what makes this show so gripping is the action is among the jury, the legal teams and the complications their own lives bring to the situation.

Read on and we'll reveal how to watch "The Twelve" season 2 online and from anywhere.
