Travis Fimmel's New Detective Role in Black Snow

Australian actor Travis Fimmel has transitioned from his role as Ragnar Lothbrok in "Vikings" to play Detective James Cormack in the Australian crime drama "Black Snow." The series, created for Stan, is accessible in the U.S. via The Roku Channel. "Black Snow" features Cormack investigating distinct cold cases in each of its two seasons.

Season 1 centers on the murder of a teenage girl in a South Sea Islander community. In contrast, Season 2 sees Cormack pursuing another young woman's death while simultaneously uncovering details about his brother's disappearance. Despite its mystery elements, "Black Snow" remains a character-driven narrative, exploring Cormack's personal history with loss and trauma. Both seasons consist of six episodes each, and the show was greenlit for a third season in March 2026.

"Black Snow" has garnered significant praise, holding a perfect 100% critic score and a 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This critical success suggests the show is a compelling watch for enthusiasts of crime and detective genres.
