Overview
- The six-part series, which arrived Thursday on Sky Atlantic and NOW, is available to binge in the UK.
- Prisoner follows a prison transport officer and a high-value mafia informant who end up handcuffed together after an ambush.
- Leads Tahar Rahim and Izuka Hoyle were cuffed to each other for about four months during filming, which shaped the stunt work and required choreographed movement.
- Production was shot largely on location in Wales, including a complex convoy-ambush sequence in Cardiff’s Bute Tunnel that the team staged under tight overnight windows.
- International rollout is under way, with Australia set to stream the series on Binge on May 5, and the creative team includes writer Matt Charman and director Otto Bathurst with a cast led by Rahim and Hoyle.
