“The record-breaking results are a testament to Sky’s ongoing commitment to innovation and championing the very best of bold, British drama,” said Cameron Roach director of the series over the success of his show.
“This epic saga, with family at its heart and visceral action-packed fight sequences, has taken audiences on an immersive journey into the underbelly of London’s modern-day criminal underworld,” Roach added.
Pakistan’s veteran actor Asif Raza Mir, who plays the character of Asif in the drama based on gangs and drug lords of London, also spoke to a Canadian news outlet regarding his venture.
“The nice thing about this project that I personally liked is that it’s a typical crime gangster series but every individual (in it) has his own backstory and at the same time it has the human side of it, the family, the emotions,” said Mir, playing a Pakistani drug lord in the series.
