Tahar Rahim and Izuka Hoyle on the run in first trailer for Sky drama Prisoner

TRAILER: Tahar Rahim and Izuka Hoyle are forced on the run in Prisoner, a new Sky original series created by Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies) and debuting on Sky Atlantic and NOW on April 30.

Prisoner follows Amber (Hoyle), a principled young prison transport officer tasked with escorting Tibor (Rahim), a trained killer and high-value inmate, to court to testify against his elite crime syndicate. When their convoy is brutally ambushed, she’s forced to put her life in his hands. As the sole survivors, handcuffed and on the run, they must race to reach their destination alive and on time.

Along the way, their uneasy alliance is tested as the syndicate closes in. Trust becomes a weapon and their shackled survival a moral dilemma, forcing Amber to confront how far she’ll go to protect what matters most.

The supporting cast includes Eddie Marsan, Catherine McCormack, Leonie Benesch, Finn Bennett, Sam Troughton, Laurie Davidson, Ken Nwosu, Brían F O’Byrne and Youssef Kerkour.

Created and written by showrunner Charman and directed by Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders), Prisoner is produced by Binocular in association with Sky Studios. Haleema Mizra is deputy showrunner and writer, with later episodes directed by Pia Strietmann.

Executive producers are Charman, Foz Allan, Bathurst and Adrian Sturges for Sky Studios. Barney Reisz is series producer. The series will be available on Sky in the UK and Ireland, with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handling international sales.

All episodes of Prisoner will be available on April 30 on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
