The BBC has released a first-look clip and artwork for new crime drama Mint, the debut TV series from writer and director Charlotte Regan.
The drama is made by Fearless Minds and House Productions, part of BBC Studios.
Starring Emma Laird (The Brutalist, Mayor of Kingstown) and acting newcomer Ben Coyle-Larner (better known as musician Loyle Carner) the clip sees the first meeting between Mint’s lead characters Shannon and Arran. They are at the heart of the eight-part series about “soaring romance, crushing heartbreak and what love might feel like when everyone outside of your family is terrified of you.”
Filmed in and around Glasgow last year, Mint also stars Sam Riley (Firebrand, Control), Laura Fraser (Breaking Bad, Patience), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy, Black Mirror) and Lindsay Duncan (Truelove, Sherwood).
Mint was commissioned by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama. The eight-part series is created, written, directed and executive produced by Charlotte Regan. It is made for BBC iPlayer and BBC One by House Productions, part of BBC Studios, and Fearless Minds. It is produced by Angus Lamont (The Wonder, Tin Star), and executive produced by Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell and Theo Barrowclough for House Productions, Jolyon Symonds for Fearless Minds, and Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC. BBC Studios is handling global sales.
The first four episodes of the series premiered at Berlinale – Berlin International Film Festival on 15th February.
Mint will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this spring
