Produced by AC Chapter One and Anonymous Content, in association with Paramount Television International Studios, the prequel series explores the origins of Gal (McArdle) and Don (Elliott)'s complicated relationship as they descend into the seductive madness of London's criminal world during the vibrant and volatile 1990s, as Gal's budding relationship with Deedee (Greene) threatens everything in their world.
The series premieres Thursday, January 25 exclusively on the service in the US and international territories where available.
“I feel very fortunate to be a part of this world,” said series star McArdle. “The original story leaves so much space for us all to wonder what happened within Gal and Don’s friendship in the years prior. I’m looking forward to everyone being able to rediscover these characters and find out.”
Other cast members include Eliza Bennett (Dynasty (2017)), Clea Martin (Hanna), Nicholas Nunn (Clique), Peter Ferdinando (The Letter for the King), John Dagleish (The Third Day), Robbie Gee (Berlin Station), Paul Kaye (The Stranger (2020)), Lex Shrapnel (A Town called Malice), Cally Lawrence (People Just Do Nothing), David Kennedy (Hollyoaks), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Britannia), Ralph Brown (Turn), Nitin Ganatra ( Bodies (2023)) and Alice Bailey Johnson (Black Mirror).
