New Netflix commission

Netflix has commissioned BAFTA-winning writer Neil Forsyth (The Gold, Guilt) to create a new limited 6-part drama series Legends produced by Tannadice Pictures in association with Lion Television.

Legends is a high-octane thrilling drama series inspired by one of most remarkable criminal investigations ever conducted. The real-life story follows a top-secret group of British customs employees sent undercover in the 1990s to infiltrate one of the country’s most notorious drug gangs. They were not trained spies – they had no undercover experience. These ordinary men and women had to build new identities in the criminal underworld. These identities were called Legends. 

The series is written and created by Neil Forsyth. Executive Producers are Neil Forsyth, Ben Farrell and Richard Bradley.
