Congratulations to all of the WA actors joining the cast, including Frances O’Connor, Tasma Walton, Greg McNeill, Suesha Rana, Luke Pegler, Adriano Cappelletta, Brad Francis, Nelson Baker, Isabelle Basen, Myles Pollard and Caroline Brazier.
WA directors Stevie Cruz-Martin (Safe ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾, The Tailings) and Ben Young (Hounds of Love, Clickbait) join Mark Joffe (Jack Irish) to helm the production of the thrilling drama series.
Supported by the State Government’s WA Production Attraction Incentive and Screenwest, the production is the biggest-ever of its kind to film in the State and will showcase WA’s ability to attract and deliver premium screen projects.
Comments attributed to Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman:
“It is an amazing outcome to have a premium series like season two of The Twelve being filmed right here in Western Australia.
“Not only is this production creating local jobs and enabling skill development, but we will also get a significant return on our investment with the production injecting more than three times the funds back into the WA economy.
“No doubt audiences will be eagerly awaiting the second season of The Twelve after the thrilling, award-winning first season.
“Having this fantastic show being filmed here is ample proof that the State Government’s Production Attraction Incentive can successfully draw high-profile productions to WA.”
