A GENRE PIECE, INNIT?
The first time I heard about “The Knowledge of London”, I knew there was a television series to be found. I pitched my mentor, CRAIG SILVERSTEIN, on a show that would serve as a love letter to the British Gangster genre. We sold that series to AMC and began one of the best development experiences of my life, which included a research trip to London and writing with a true master of the form. After attaching RAY WINSTONE to the project, we knew we’d found our Joe Collins. Wild Mercury came on as producers to round out a great team.
LOGLINE
A young graduate of the London Knowledge Taxi School becomes a getaway driver and protégé to the former head of a crime syndicate, descending into an underworld that’s changing just as fast as the legitimate world he’s leaving behind.
