Sky viewers are curious about the stars of the new action thriller, Prisoner. The series, written by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Matt Charman, delivers a high-octane drama in six parts. It follows a prisoner transport officer who makes a last-minute decision to handcuff a mafia informant in a bid to get him to court after their convoy is attacked, forcing them to go on the run.
Who is in the cast of Prisoner on Sky?
