Sky has unveiled a first look at upcoming action-thriller Prisoner ahead of its premiere in 2026. <\/p>\n
The series, which is led by Tahar Rahim (The Serpent) and Izuka Hoyle (Boiling Point), will tell the story of “a principled young prison officer escorting a dangerous, high-value prisoner to court to testify against his elite crime syndicate,” according to a synopsis.<\/p>\n
The first-look image (above) shows Rahim in action as the prisoner, Tibor Stone, and Hoyle as Amber Todd, the prison officer, whose convoy is \u201cbrutally ambushed\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs the sole survivors, handcuffed and on the run, they must race to reach their destination alive and on time,\u201d the official synopsis continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlong the way, their uneasy alliance is tested as the syndicate closes in. Trust becomes a weapon and their shackled survival a moral dilemma, forcing Amber to confront how far she\u2019ll go to protect what matters most.\u201d<\/p>\n
