Ahead of the show airing on Tuesday, June 21, Foxtel has held a red carpet launch for the world premiere of its exclusive new Australian drama series, The Twelve. On the evening of June 9th, members of the cast joined Foxtel executives, media personalities, influencers, and trade journalists at Beta in Sydney’s CBD for the screening.
The 10-part courtroom drama starring Sam Neill (Jurassic World: Dominion, Thor: Love and Thunder, Palm Beach), Marta Dusseldorp (Wentworth, Stateless, A Place to Call Home) and Kate Mulvany (Fighting Season, Lambs of God, Hunters) tells the story of 12 ordinary Australians who are selected for jury duty in a murder trial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her teenage niece.
The evening opened with Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany welcoming guests to the screening and speaking about how proud he was of the series, especially as Foxtel were seeking a strong drama to air in the spot of the long-running and incredibly successful Wentworth, which wrapped up last year.
