FX has released the first trailer for Taboo, an 8-part
miniseries starring Tom Hardy as a man thought to be dead who returns home to
inherit what is left of his father's company and make a new life for himself, but
discovers that what awaits him is murder, betrayal, and a dark family mystery.
Taboo was co-written by Hardy, his father Chips, and
Steven Knight, who wrote and directed Hardy in one of his greatest performances
ever in Locke.
Taboo also stars Oona Chaplin, David Hayman, Michael
Kelly, Jonathan Pryce, Jason Watkins, Richard Dixon, and Leo Bill.
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.
