Banshee to broadcast on Sky Atlantic

Acclaimed writer, director and producer Alan Ball of True Blood, Six Feet Under and American Beauty fame brings his brand new action drama series, Banshee, to Sky Atlantic.

Banshee stars Antony Starr as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Philadelphia, where he continues his criminal activities, even as he’s hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier.

Going hell for leather, this series opener follows Lucas as he makes his way to Banshee to find his former partner-in-crime and lover. The good news is that they are indeed reunited. However, the bad is that his ex has since changed her name to Carrie and created a new life for herself complete with defence attorney hubby and two kids. Shovelling salt into the wound, Carrie is also no longer in possession of the diamonds that scored Lucas a stint in the clink in the first place.

Banshee begins on Monday 29th April at 10pm on Sky Atlantic and Sky Atlantic HD.
