A master criminal must survive prison after being betrayed by one of his own — that’s the starting point for The Wanted Man, starring Hugh Laurie. Apple TV+ has released the first footage of George Kay’s new series, the creator of Hijack. Its release in France is set for January 6, 2027.
Laurie plays Felix Carmichael, sent to Staplehurst Prison as his family, his organization and his fortune hang in the balance. The story puts a man accustomed to ruling against a fight for his own survival. Escape becomes his objective, even if it means confronting the brutality that once underpinned his power.
Thandiwe Newton and Gina McKee portray Francesca and Hannah Carmichael, while Fionn Whitehead takes on Scotty Walsh. George Kay writes the screenplay and serves as a producer on the eight-episode series. Apple has unveiled a global rollout, kicking off with two episodes and then releasing new installments every Wednesday through February 17, 2027. The series will be available on Apple TV+.
