Sky has launched the full official trailer for its upcoming action-adventure series, ‘Atomic,’ launching Thursday, 28 August on Sky and streaming service NOW.
When the path of free-spirited drug smuggler Max (Alfie Allen) collides with JJ (Shazad Latif), an enigmatic outsider on the run, an unlikely friendship is formed. They’re swept into a chaotic, high-stakes mission they never signed up for— trafficking highly enriched uranium across North Africa and the Middle East, with the CIA, MI6, and a global web of opposing forces closing in fast.
Leading the charge for the CIA is a highly skilled scientist and a Non-Official Cover (NOC) officer, Cassie Elliott (Samira Wiley). Convinced Max and JJ are in league with violent extremists, her relentless pursuit puts them all on a collision course, revealing that nothing is what it seems, and everyone has an ulterior motive. The pair find themselves on a wild road trip, confronting covert operatives, an internationally funded cartel, and ultimately their own pasts. What starts as a bid for survival slowly becomes something more: a reluctant partnership, a shot at redemption, and one hell of a ride.
Also joining the cast are Brian Gleeson as Mark Ellis, Franklin Virguez as Antonio Alam, Avita Lvova as Oksana Shirokova, Stuart Martin as Robert ‘Rab’ Mackintosh, Vahid Gold as Khaled Awad and Charlie Murphy as Laetitia.
Created by Gregory Burke and inspired by the non-fiction book ‘The Atomic Bazaar’ by Vanity Fair journalist William Langewiesche, ‘Atomic’ is produced by Pulse Films, a VICE Studios company, in association with Sky Studios.
