BT and AMC have announced the upcoming premiere of the new TV drama Snatch starring Rupert Grint (Harry Potter), which will get underway on AMC in the UK on October 31st, with the full box set available on demand to BT TV customers after the premiere.
Snatch was inspired by a real life heist in London and is based loosely on the wildly popular Guy Ritchie movie of the same name. The drama centres on a group of twenty-something, up-and-coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high stakes world of organised crime. They must quickly learn to navigate the treacherous waters of London’s underworld as rogue cops, gypsy fighters, international mobsters and local villains descend.
Snatch stars Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) as the intelligent but chaotic Charlie Cavendish, Luke Pasqualino (Skins) as the smart, aspirational Albert Hill, Dougray Scott (Desperate Housewives) as Vic Hill and Juliet Aubrey (The White Queen) as Lilly Hill, Albert’s criminal parents. Lucien Laviscount (Scream Queens) also stars as Billy Ayres, a wingman to Albert who is rough around the edges, with Marc Warren (The Good Wife) as crooked cop Bob Fink and Stephanie Leonidas (Whitechapel) as the assertive Chloe Kohn, femme fatale in waiting.
