Hugh Laurie to star in Apple TV+ crime thriller from Hijack creator
In the new eight-part series, Laurie plays Felix Carmichael, head of The Capital, a British crime syndicate that has made its boss untouchable for the last two decades. A twist of fate lands Carmichael in prison, though, where he realises that someone close to him has committed the ultimate act of betrayal.
With Carmichael’s criminal empire at risk, he makes it his mission to escape. In the outside world, he has business interests to protect, and revenge to take. Fail, and the last 20 years will have been for nothing. Succeed, and he’ll be a wanted man yet again.
