Entered into: Best casting of a drama series



Produced by: Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group

For: Sky Atlantic

Distributed by: NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution



The 10-part series is based on the beloved and respected Frederick Forsyth novel, which was subsequently adapted into the award-winning 1973 film of the same name from Universal Pictures, but has been reimagined for the modern day. While staying true to the original story and maintaining its universal themes and relevance, this contemporary drama delves deeper into the chameleon-like English assassin (Eddie Redmayne) and the law-enforcement agent (Lashana Lynch) in a pursuit that lies at the heart of the story.
