It\u2019s been a long time coming but crime drama<\/a> fans can rest easy because this 2022 drama is finally making its way to our shores. It\u2019s set to be a riveting exploration of one woman\u2019s trial who stands accused of murdering her teenage niece, but this drama\u2019s main twist is the fact it focuses on the jurors called upon to make a verdict.<\/p>\n Like any good courtroom drama, it\u2019s set to be tense, twisted and also complex, as each juror\u2019s life and backstories are explored to demonstrate the imbalances of the law and justice as we know it.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about The Twelve, including when you can stream it on ITVX.<\/p> The Twelve debuts on ITVX on Thursday 16th February 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n All 10 episodes will be available to watch from then on ITVX.<\/p>\n The rest of the cast of The Twelve is as follows:<\/p>\n The cast of The Twelve is led by Sam Neill (Jurassic World Dominion<\/a>, Peaky Blinders<\/a>) as Brett Colby SC and Kate Mulvany (Hunters<\/a>, Lambs of God) as the accused, Kate Lawson. Marta Dusseldorp (Stateless<\/a>) also stars as Lucy Bloom QC.<\/p>\n This Australian courtroom drama tells the story of 12 ordinary people who are selected for jury duty in a murder trial as traumatising as it is controversial, in which a woman (Mulvany) stands accused of killing her teenage niece.<\/p>\n As the synopsis states: \u201cBehind the fa\u00e7ade of their anonymity, these 12 ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma, and prejudice.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough the multiple lenses of these jurors, audiences will see the fragility and imbalances of the law, and the chaotic and flawed way we attempt to determine justice in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n While a crime drama such as this may seem like it\u2019s based on an intriguing real story, this Australian drama is actually based on the 2020 Belgian TV series<\/a> of the same name (or De Twaalf).<\/p>\n The 2022 Australian version of the series is fairly similar in plot detail to the Flemish-language series, with 12 jurors being called for jury duty in an unusual and emotional case. It centres on Fri Palmers (Maaike Cafmeye), a school headmistress who is accused of two separate murders committed years apart.<\/p>\n The first one was the murder of her best friend on New Year\u2019s Day 2000 and the second was the killing of her daughter in 2016. Like the Australian drama, the 10-parter seeks to interrogate the morality, biases and injustice present in the justice system.<\/p>\n While it isn\u2019t based on a true story, co-writers Bert Van Dael and Sanne Nuyens said in a Variety interview<\/a> that their series was inspired by the previous Belgian government\u2019s attempt to eradicate the jury system and the desire to focus on the \u201cordinary people\u201d that are called upon to make such major decisions.<\/p>\n The drama is available to watch in the UK on All 4<\/a>, as part of its Walter Presents<\/a> collection, with it also available to watch on Netflix internationally.<\/p>\n There is and it\u2019s not only an eerie one, but also shows how the lives of these 12 individuals may overlap for this case, but are also very different and lead to opposing outlooks on the case.<\/p>\n Watch it below.<\/p>\nThe Twelve release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
