Chances are that you’ve seen one of the many adverts for Sky Atlantic’s new six-part Euro-thriller The Last Panthers, which begins tonight at 9pm, and are intrigued. Taking inspiration from real life Pink Panthers (more on them below) this series, co-created and written by Jack Thorne, begins with an audacious diamond heist and then spirals into the moral chaos of a fragmented Europe.
Samantha Morton, John Hurt and Tahar Rahim are our leads as insurance company employees and a member of the pursuing French-Algerian police, the new drama has a fine pedigree and looks to be essential watching as the nights draw in.
While there will be an understandable focus on the lead actors of this new show there’s a good deal of information on the incredible true story upon which The Last Panthers is based, with this video series being an essential primer.
Take a look here, and then check out this page for more on the real story.
