BBC unveils Mint trailer for Charlotte Regan’s romance crime drama

TRAILER: Emma Laird and Ben Coyle-Larner head the cast of romance-filled crime drama Mint, the first TV series from filmmaker Charlotte Regan, which arrives on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Monday, April 20, 2026. Watch the trailer now.

Laird plays Shannon, the daughter of her area’s dominant crime family, who is desperately searching for romance in the shadow of her father, Dylan.

When Shannon falls hard for Arran (Coyle-Larner), a member of a rival crime family who has newly arrived in town, their love story changes both of their lives for good, but not everyone in their lives sees it the same way.

While Shannon and Arran are navigating their forbidden romance, elsewhere things are imploding for Shannon’s family – her parents, Dylan and Cat, her older brother Luke and her indomitable grandma Ollie. When Dylan decides to step down as the head of the family for mysterious reasons. Sam, Dylan’s second in command, steps up to take over, though his diverging tactics start to raise alarm.

Filmed in and around Glasgow last year, Mint also stars Sam Riley, Laura Fraser, Lewis Gribben, Connor Newall and Lindsay Duncan.

The eight-part series is created, written, directed and executive produced by Regan (Scrapper). It is made for BBC iPlayer and BBC One by House Productions and Fearless Minds. It is produced by Angus Lamont and executive produced by Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell and Theo Barrowclough for House Productions, Jolyon Symonds for Fearless Minds and Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC. Mint was supported by Screen Scotland.

BBC Studios is handling global sales.

All episodes of Mint are on BBC iPlayer from 6am on Monday, April 20, with the series airing on BBC One from 9pm that night.
