FX has revealed a new promo for Taboo, the dark drama series starring Tom Hardy. See the Taboo spot below!
The show is also executive produced by Hardy alongside Ridley Scott and Steven Knight, who created the eight-episode drama series. Taboo is scheduled to air in early 2017.
Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.
Taboo is based on an original story by Tom Hardy and his father Chips Hardy, who is also the show’s consulting producer.
