"If Dallas made love to Pulp Fiction to the sounds of Duran Duran, they’d give birth to A Town Called Malice," reads the tagline.

Set in the early 1980s, the thriller follows the Lords, a family of former South London gangsters who've fallen to the bottom of the criminal ladder.

Following a big battle, they flee to the Costa del Sol in Spain, where they seize the opportunity to re-invent themselves and re-capture their former glory.

The only problem is that they spend as much time fighting each other as they do their rivals.

The eight-part series will star Jack Rowan (Noughts + Crosses), Tahirah Sharif (The Tower), Dougray Scott (Crime), Jason Flemyng (Pennyworth) and Martha Plimpton (Younger). 

The explosive family drama is set amongst the sunny backdrop of Costa del Sol in the early 80’s, with a decade-defining soundtrack to accompany the series.

The eight-part series is set to be a family saga with the Costa Del Sol in the early 1980s as its backdrop, featuring a pulsating 80s soundtrack.

Created and written by Nick Love (Bulletproof), A Town Called Malice follows a crime family of petty thieves from South London called the Lords, who have fallen to the bottom of the criminal food chain and are not happy about it.
