Is ‘Black Snow' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 22, 2025, 19:07 IST Fans of the Australian crime series Black Snow are eager to know if a third season is on the way. After Season 2's gripping finale in May 2025, questions about renewal, cast, plot, and release dates are swirling. Here's a rundown of everything we've gathered about the future of Black Snow . Has Black Snow Been Renewed for Season 3? As of right now—June 22, 2025—there's no official word on Black Snow Season 3. Stan, AMC+, and BBC, the main platforms behind the show, haven't said 'yay' or 'nay' yet. Season 2 kicked off on Stan in Australia on January 1, 2025, and wrapped up on AMC+ in the U.S. by May 22. Sites like JustJared and mention that the networks are still crunching numbers to see how Season 2 did with viewers. The show's got a pretty loyal crowd, though, and it's sitting at a sweet 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. That's gotta count for something, right? Still, we might be stuck twiddling our thumbs for a bit—maybe a few months—before we hear anything solid. Networks can be slow like that. When Could Season 3 Premiere? Without a green light, it's tough to pin down a release date, but we can look at past patterns. If we look at the show's history, there's a pattern. Season 1 dropped on January 1, 2023, and Season 2 came exactly two years later on January 1, 2025, in Australia. Filming for Season 2 happened from mid-2024 to late November, so they needed about six months to shoot, plus some time for editing and all that jazz. If Stan gives the green light soon, I'd bet filming could start around mid-2026. That points to a possible January 2027 premiere on Stan, with AMC+ and BBC maybe airing it around April or May 2027. But, you know, if the renewal drags out, we could be looking at later in 2027. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Was Sir Joh ‘God', as David Littleproud says, or a template for Trump?
The most controversial premier in Queensland history was 'God', National Party leader David Littleproud says in a new documentary featuring some of Australia's most prominent public figures. Bob Katter claims Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen 'couldn't string three coherent words together', a former Brisbane mayor insists the state's longest-serving premier was not corrupt, and multiple commentators suggest he 'set the template' for Donald Trump. Due for release this Sunday on Stan, Joh: Last King of Queensland follows the Kingaroy peanut farmer's rise to premier and would-be prime minister – before his spectacular downfall in the wake of the Fitzgerald inquiry. 'I think Joh was a force of nature … he was God,' Littleproud says. 'He's the father of modern-day Queensland because he had the courage of his conviction. He had the strength and determination to stand up and to be different.' Loading In reference to a perjury trial that ended with a hung jury, Littleproud added: 'Joh was never convicted of any crime. He walked away with nothing. He walked away, after years of public service making Queensland great, an innocent man that left a legacy. And that is the story.' Bjelke-Petersen was born in 1911, and served as premier for a record 19 years, from 1968 and 1987. His political conservatism dominated Queensland for almost two decades. Loved by some and accused of an authoritarian bent by others, his government unravelled after the revelation of widespread corruption in government and the police.

Nine unveils management shake-up in TV, Stan
Nine Entertainment head of streaming and broadcasting Amanda Laing has unveiled a new leadership structure that she hopes will better integrate the company's brands, with the heads of the television wing's sport, entertainment and news units to take on responsibility for content on Stan. On Friday, about five months since Laing was appointed as managing director of Nine's newly formed streaming and broadcast division, the former Foxtel executive announced a raft of leadership changes, including new roles in which several veteran TV directors will report to her. Broadly speaking, Laing's plan for the division includes giving the heads of various departments control of television output; its paid-streaming service Stan; and its free catch-up website 9Now, including deciding which content is best suited to each platform, as part of changes that will take effect from July 1. Nine is owner of this masthead. Driving efficiencies and drawing on resources across the company is central to the changes, including a merger of production teams from Stan Sports and the historic Wide World of Sports. Laing will lead a program to further grow the sport offering, with the aim of increasing advertising and subscription revenues as well as gaining additional broadcast rights and partnerships. Michael Healy, who has served as Channel 9's director of television since 2010, will move into an executive director of entertainment role that includes responsibility for the commissioning of all content across TV and streaming. This effectively puts him in charge of decisions for flagship shows such as Married at First Sight, Lego Masters and The Block, as well as for Australian original dramas and other series on Stan. Cailah Scobie, chief content officer at Stan, will take on the expanded role of executive director of entertainment content acquisitions, which will involve negotiating with studios to secure the rights for series, including big-name US-produced shows key to driving subscriptions and viewer numbers, for both streaming and broadcast television. Fiona Dear, Nine's director of news and current affairs, fresh from launching a dedicated long-form current affairs and investigations unit, will take on responsibility for streaming services as the company hopes to better unite the work of journalists across its broadcast and publishing divisions, which include The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review. The plan aims to build on the collaborations between print journalists from the mastheads working with programs such as 60 Minutes that have occurred since Nine's merger with Fairfax Media. No departures or redundancies were announced as part of the changes, which were explained to staff on Friday. Additionally, the company will soon recruit a chief strategy officer and chief marketing officer for the streaming and broadcast divisions, while Nine's state managing directors in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia will now also report to Laing.
