The BBC has unveiled the powerhouse cast for its highly anticipated new thriller 'Assassin', and it's packed with British acting royalty. Headlined by Golden Globe winner Brian Cox (Succession), the series promises to deliver edge-of-your-seat tension when it premieres on BBC One.
A Stellar Line-Up
Joining Cox in this gripping drama are some of Britain's finest talents:
- Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard, Line of Duty)
- Noma Dumezweni (The Undeclared War)
- Edward Holcroft (Kingsman series)
- Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point)
- David Morrissey (The Walking Dead)
What's It About?
The series follows a British Prime Minister (Cox) who faces an unimaginable crisis when his family becomes embroiled in a shocking political conspiracy. As secrets unravel, he's forced to question everything – including who he can trust in his own government.
'Assassin' comes from the producers behind hit shows like Line of Duty and Bodyguard, promising the same heart-pounding tension that made those series must-watch television.
Behind the Scenes
The six-part thriller is written by acclaimed screenwriter Matt Jones (Doctor Who, The Terror) and directed by Shawn Seet (Reckoning). Filming recently wrapped in London, with post-production now underway.
While an exact air date hasn't been confirmed, the BBC has confirmed the series will premiere later this year on BBC One and iPlayer.
