Colm Meaney is suited and booted as crime lord in new Sky series Gangs Of London

Colm Meaney is suited and booted as a crime lord in the first trailer of his new show Gangs Of London.

The series, which is set to rival crime favourite Peaky Blinders, delves into the underbelly of London's modern-day criminal underworld.

And on Wednesday, Sky revealed the first look trailer and images of its new visceral, action-packed thriller starring the Dublin-born Star Trek actor.

The show, which takes audiences on an immersive journey into the hidden heart of the British capital, stars a multi-talented ensemble cast featuring Meaney, Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole, Lucian Msamati, Sope Dirisu and Michelle Farley.

This nine-part Sky original drama, which is co-production with Cinemax, will launch on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW TV later this year.

Gangs of London was created by award-winning filmmaker of 'The Raid' movie franchise, Gareth Evans, and his creative partner Matt Flannery.

It is executive produced by Thomas Benski and Lucas Ochoa for Pulse Films and Jane Featherstone for Sister.

This epic saga, with family at its heart, is unlike anything seen on TV before, with Gareth’s unique brand of cinematic action exploding onto the small screen for the first time.

Speaking at a Sky Up Next bash at in London’s Tate Modern, showcasing what content to look forward to in 2020, Sky bosses announced they have committed to more than double its investment in original drama, comedy and documentary through Sky Studios, the commissioning and production arm of Sky.

They added: “Sky Studios brings to screen unique stories from the very best talent in Europe and is the creative home of Sky’s award-winning and much-loved Sky originals.”
