Hugh Laurie’s new crime drama The Wanted Man now has a premiere date. The eight-episode series will debut globally on Apple TV on Wednesday, January 6, 2027, and Apple has released the first images from the series.
The first two episodes will arrive together on January 6, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through the finale on February 17.
What Is The Wanted Man About?
Laurie stars as Felix Carmichael, an organized crime boss who finds himself on the other side of the system after someone inside his own firm betrays him.
Felix is sent to Staplehurst prison, where he has to fall back on the brutality that helped make him who he is. With his family, business, and fortune now at risk, he decides his only option is to escape.
Laurie also serves as an executive producer on the series.
The newly released first-look images show Laurie as Felix alongside several members of the cast, including Thandiwe Newton, Fionn Whitehead, Gina McKee and Gershwyn Eustache Jnr.
