McMafia: trailer

A trailer has been released for UK drama McMafia, a co-production due to screen in Australia on Amazon.

The drama, produced for the BBC and AMC, is created by Hossein Amini (47 Ronin, Wings of a Dove) and James Watkins (Black Mirror, Bastille Day), inspired by the book of the same title by Misha Glenny.

It tells the story of Alex Godman (James Norton), an English-raised son of Russian exiles with a mafia history, who has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of that criminal past. As he starts building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca (Juliet Rylance), his family’s past murderously returns to threaten them.

An airdate is yet to be announced.
