BOUNTY HUNTERS – FINISHED PROGRAMME (2018 - 2018)

Bounty Hunters is a new comedy thriller series from Cave Bear Productions and Tiger Aspect Productions for Sky 1 and NOW TV starring Jack Whitehall (Decline and Fall, Bad Education, Fresh Meat), Oscar nominated Rosie Perez (Fearless, White Men Cant Jump, Do the Right Thing) and Robert Lindsay (My Family, Hornblower, GBH). When Wimbeldon-born Barnaby (Jack Whitehall) discovers his father (Robert Lindsay) is hospitalised following a mysterious accident, he decides he is the man to solve the family’s cash-strapped antiques business. However, when he unwittingly buys a blood antiquity, looted from the war-torn Middle East, he sets off a chain of events which sees his hitherto calm and peaceful life plunged into chaos. But help comes in the shape of ?ery Bounty Hunter, Nina Morales (Rosie Perez), who is on the run after accidentally killing a member of a cartel. Barnaby and Nina make for a very unlikely and funny partnership; a smart car driving, book loving Londoner who’s been studying at Cambridge University and a passionate Puerto Rican who has been working as a tough and straight talking Bounty Hunter in New York. They must overcome their differences as they navigate the dangers of the criminal world in order to avoid the police and survive the ?ailing bullets of a drug cartel and middle- eastern terror group. From brokering dangerous deals with a drug cartel in a pod on the London Eye to out-witting middle-eastern terrorists in a sweaty 80’s themed night club we follow Barnaby and Nina on a thrilling chase stretching from New York to London to Mexico. The series is written by Jack Whitehall and Freddy Syborn, who previously wrote hit British comedy Bad Education together, directed by Will Sinclair (Poldark, Vera, Misfits), executive produced by Ben Cavey (Decline and Fall, Bad Education, Benidorm), and produced by Pippa Brown (Bad Education, Psychobitches). Other key cast roles include Charity Wake?eld (Wolf Hall, Doctor Who, Sense and Sensibility), Sophie Thompson (Olivier Award winner with Into the Woods, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows), Bradley James (Merlin, Damien), Ben Bailey Smith (David Brent: Life on the Road), Olga Merediz (Evita, Orange is the New Black), Nigel Betts (Doctor Who, Emmerdale), Corey Johnson (Captain Phillips, The Bourne Ultimatum), Kyle Soller (Poldark) and Christian Ochoa (Pitch, Her Story).
