First look at Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks in Sky Atlantic’s epic thriller Tin Star

Wednesday 21 September 2016

Sky Atlantic today released the first images of Tim Roth (The Hateful Eight) and Emmy nominated Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) on the set of Tin Star. A Sky Original Production due to air in 2017, Tin Star is an epic ten-part drama about the corruption of innocence; of murder, of grief and of all consuming revenge - set against the backdrop of a remote mountain town.

Currently filming in the beautiful and remote Rocky Mountains of Canada, Tin Star is produced by Kudos, the makers of BAFTA award-winning Broadchurch and Humans, and is penned by acclaimed screenwriter Rowan Joffe (28 Weeks Later, The American).

Tin Star is the story of Jim Worth (Tim Roth) an expat British police officer starting a new life with his family as a police chief in Little Big Bear, an idyllic town near the Rocky Mountains. Not long after their arrival, the opening of an oil refinery nearby leads to Little Big Bear becoming a boom town, bringing with it a wave of drugs, prostitution and organised crime.

When Jim takes a stand against the oil company fronted by Mrs Bradshaw (Christina Hendricks), it’s not long before someone makes an attempt on his life. But when Jim ducks the bullet meant for him it leaves a member of his family dead instead. With the gang of killers still in town, the police chief becomes hell-bent on violent revenge.

A gallery of images for the series can be found on Sky’s Editorial Asset Centre here.

Tin Star will air on Sky Atlantic in 2017.

International distribution is handled by Endemol Shine International and Sky Vision.
