Is there a trailer for The Outlaws?
Yes there is!
The so called ‘outlaws’ are all from different walks of life, and form unlikely friendships and we gradually see their private lives intersect.
The group is then forced to unite in order to protect one of their own from Bristol’s most dangerous criminal gang.
Filming was interrupted in 2020 by the pandemic. However, production resumed in December, with strict Covid-19 restrictions in place.
Stephen Merchant said at the time: ‘Like so many other productions, we’d just begun filming when Covid-19 struck and we had to shut down.
‘I’m delighted that we’re now finally able to resume filming with this incredible cast and finish this long-standing passion project.
‘This is the first series I’ve made in my hometown of Bristol and I’m so excited to showcase the city and utilise the amazing local talent.’
The Outlaws premieres at 9pm on October 25 on BBC One, and will be released weekly on Monday.
