Take a look at the dramatic first trailer for Taboo.
The explosive drama is scheduled to premiere in 2017, which begs the question: is it 2017 yet?
The eight-part drama from FX and BBC one is currently in production in London and will star Tom Hardy.
Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney (Hardy), a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.
Hardy is currently nominated for an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for The Revenant and also played the lead role in the Oscar-nominated Mad Max: Fury Road.
The show is also executive produced by Hardy alongside Ridley Scott and Steven Knight who created the eight-episode drama series.
