First look images and teaser show Bridget Jones’ Colin Firth and Dangerous Beauty’s Catherine McCormack in Sky’s retelling of Britain’s most deadly terrorist attack.

Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, with 259 passengers and 11 Lockerbie residents losing their lives.

The teaser trailer sees Firth and McCormack as Jim and Jane Swire, who discover their daughter Flora was killed in the devastating terrorist attack. The drama takes place over three decades, as the Swires search for justice, and ask why the public have been left in the dark. Their journey takes them to Libya to meet Colonel Muammar Gaddafi (Nabil Al Raee, 200 Meters) and to the Netherlands for the trial of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi (Ardalan Esmaili, The Charmer).

As Swire risks everything to hold those responsible to account, his entire perspective changes and his view on the justice system is damaged forever.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth comes to Sky Atlantic and NOW on Thursday 2 January 2025.
