BBC One announces new Stephen Merchant series The Offenders
The six-part comedy crime thriller set in Bristol will follow a group of seven complete strangers brought together to complete a Community Payback sentence.
The group of misfits from different walks of life form unlikely friendships, and each character’s complicated life is brought into play. As the initial façades begin to slip, The Offenders delves into what made each character the complex people they are today.
When one falls into trouble, the group must unite to protect them from Bristol’s most dangerous gang.
