This marks the first project that will hail from Elba's first-look deal with Apple TV+ and his Green Door Pictures.

The show joins the ever-growing slate of Apple TV+ shows and movies including the very popular Severance and Pachinko, which have aired on the platform to much acclaim recently.

Apple TV+ is available on all of Apple's best iPhones, iPads, Macs, and the Best TVs for Apple TV 2022.
