TV Tonight: The Twelve

The Twelve continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

The Crown calls Claire’s best friend, Amita, to the stand for questioning. Bloom suggests Kate was grooming Claire while using her as her muse, but Colby’s cross examination paints Kate as a loving and caring Aunt. The Defence again throws suspicion onto Nathan, as it’s revealed a dramatic argument took place the night Claire went missing. Meanwhile, Jarrod struggles to deal with the brutality of his arrest and submits an important English essay late. Alexi is plagued by his decision following a workplace accident, and he and Corrie take their connection to a new level. Garry is faced with the new task of having to ensure the jurors deliver a ‘not guilty’ verdict, but how will he do it?

This gripping courtroom drama tells the story of 12 ordinary Australians who are selected for jury duty in a murder trial as traumatising as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her teenage niece. Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve 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. Through 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.

The limited series also stars Marta Dusseldorp (Wentworth, Stateless, A Place to Call Home) and Kate Mulvany (Fighting Season, Lambs of God, Hunters).
