UK broadcaster Sky bought upcoming Paramount+ drama Last King of the Cross.
On the eve of MIPCOM Cannes, Sky Television took exclusive rights across the UK, Ireland, Italy and Germany for the 10-part series inspired by John Ibrahim’s autobiography about his rise from a poverty-stricken immigrant to infamous nightclub mogul.
Set in the 1980s and ’90s the series stars Lincoln Younes, Tim Roth, Claude Jabbour, Callan Mulvey, Tess Haubrich, Maria Tran and Matt Nable.
Helium’s Mark Fennessy produces with Karl Zwicky, with Fennessy and John Ibrahim as executive producers with Darcy-Smith, Grant Brown, Catherine Millar and Ian Watso directing.
“Last King of the Cross is a key launch for us at MIPCOM so I’m thrilled to be closing this presale with Sky,” said James Durie, Head of Scripted at Cineflix Rights, calling the show a “a rags to riches crime story that is salacious and gripping, with an emotional family story at its heart and a strong ensemble cast.”
It will screen on Paramount+ in 2023.
