DESCRIPTION:
(from Apple's press release, May 2025) Today, Apple TV+ announced the riveting new eight-episode drama "The Wanted Man," starring SAG and Golden Globe Award winner Hugh Laurie ("House," "The Night Manager"). From creator, writer and showrunner George Kay ("Hijack," "Lupin"), the series is co-produced by New Pictures ("The Long Shadow," "Catherine the Great") and Kay's Observatory Pictures. The series also stars Emmy, SAG and BAFTA Award winner Thandiwe Newton ("Westworld," "Crash"), Fionn Whitehead ("Dunkirk," "Emily"), BAFTA Award winner and Olivier Award nominee Gina McKee ("My Policeman," "The Years"), Hazel Doupe ("Say Nothing," "Kathleen Is Here"), Elliott Heffernan ("Blitz") and BAFTA Award winner Stephen Dillane ("Game of Thrones," "The Hours"). "The Wanted Man" charts the rise and fall of Felix Carmichael (Laurie), the elusive and powerful head of notorious British crime syndicate 'The Capital.' Untouchable for 20 years, Carmichael is finally apprehended, but while he's held in the infamous Staplehurst prison, it becomes clear that he's been betrayed by one of his own. As the traitor moves to dismantle the empire he has built, Carmichael must risk everything in a daring escape. Willing to stop at nothing to take his revenge, if he succeeds, he'll be a wanted man once more. |
