Kat Stewart has revealed what it was really like working with Travis Fimmel on crime series Black Snow.
The Australian actress, 52, has joined the cast of Black Snow as Julie Cosgrove for the second series after the huge success of Travis’ first run.
While the show features a whole new cast for its second season, Travis has returned as the dogged Detective James Cormack as he digs into another tragic cold case.
And Offspring star Kat has revealed what it was like working with Travis, describing the Boy Swallows Universe star as a ‘powerhouse’ as she gushed over his talent.
She told Daily Mail Australia: ‘He’s terrific, he’s absolutely terrific, that was a big draw card because I just thought his central performance as [Detective James] Cormack was intriguing and unexpected and vulnerable and layered and nuanced.
‘He’s an absolute powerhouse.’

Of his ‘spontaneous’ working style, she added: ‘You want to be in a scene with someone you can play with and you want to be surprised in a scene, that’s my jam!’
Kat also praised his performance as Lyle Orlik in Netflix’s adaptation of Trent Dalton’s smash hit novel, which saw him nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2024 Logie Awards.
‘He’s super talented, he deserves all the accolades and I thought his performance in Boy Swallows Universe was terrific too,’ she gushed.
As well as being impressed by Travis’ talents, Kat was also keen to work on Black Snow so she could have the chance to reunite with director Sian Davies on set.
‘Sian Davies was the director and I’ve worked with her a lot,’ she shared.
‘I worked with her on the Offspring and Mr & Mrs Murder, we’re mates. It’s so lovely to work with her, she’s so good.’
Kat admitted she has been very lucky with her colleagues over the years and said there are few she wouldn’t work with again as she shared her hopes to reunite with her Offspring co-stars.
She famously starred alongside the likes of Asher Keddie, John Waters, Matthew Le Nevez, Deborah Mailman and Richard Davies in the ensemble cast on the long-running series.

Describing Travis as a ‘powerhouse’, Kat also praised his performance as Lyle Orlik in Boy Swallows Universe (pictured), which nabbed him a nomination at the 2024 Logie Awards
‘I worked on Offspring for seven years plus a telemovie and we had some usual suspects there who I haven’t worked with for a long time who are doing well internationally,’ she said.
‘But pretty much, there aren’t too many I wouldn’t work with again, I’ve just been really lucky.’
The second series of Stan’s original crime drama Black Snow will premiere on New Year’s Day and a trailer recently teased what viewers can expect from the show.
In the new six-part series, fans will be taken into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a woman who has not been seen since her 21st birthday.
While digging into the cold case, Cormack (Fimmel) will battle with a personal journey – the search for his younger brother, who has not seen since they were children.
The creepy teaser trailer begins with Cormack standing alone in a forest appearing to see ‘visions’ of missing woman Zoe, played by Bad Education’s Jana McKinnon.
Cormack then plucks up a card announcing Zoe’s disappearance as it floats in a river, teasing that the setting might hold a clue to the mysterious case.
Set in a fictional North Queensland South Sea Inlander community, the new season was filmed around the Glasshouse Mountains.

The first season of Black Snow debuted on Stan in 2023 and centred on a fictional 30-year-old unsolved murder that rocked a North Queensland South Sea Islander community.
The whodunnit series, which was produced in north Queensland, dealt with the killing of a teenager, Isabel Baker, in 1995.
No one was ever caught for the murder, but in 2020, a time capsule unearthed a vital clue that put Cormack (Fimmel) on the path to solving the crime.
Fimmel starred alongside Brooke Satchwell, Alexander England and actor and comedian Rob Carlton in the first series.
