How to watch 'Black Snow' season 2 online — stream the Australian murder mystery from anywhere

"Black Snow" season 2 – the gripping Australian crime drama that blends murder mystery with social commentary – is quickly becoming a must-watch for true crime thanks a standout performance from Travis Fimmel ("Vikings").

You can watch all six episodes of "Black Snow" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

Each season of "Black Snow" follows a different cold case being investigated by detective James Cormack (Fimmel) as he struggles with his own family demons.

This season, Cormack reopens a case from 2003 – the disappearance of Zoe Jacobs – while informally, looking into the 1994 disappearance of his younger brother, uncovering long-buried secrets in the tight-knit community of North Queensland.

The "Black Snow" 2025 cast includes Jana McKinnon as Zoe Jacobs, alongside Dan Spielman, Megan Smart, Alana Mansour, Kat Stewart, and Victoria Haralabidou. Fimmel not only reprises his role but also directs the season 2 finale. ​
