Great news! The eight-part limited
crime drama The Night Of (previously titled: Crime), created by the
acclaimed writers of The Wire and Schindler’s List, will be
simulcast with the US, exclusively on M-Net Edge on DStv. The Night
Of starts Express from the US on Monday 11 July at 2am and in Prime
Time on Friday 15 July at 8pm.
That’s not all: following an
exclusive agreement with HBO, episode 1 is already available on catch
up from today Friday, 24 June and will be available for 28 days. The
first episode will be available on the following platforms: PC, IPAD,
IPHONE, ANDROID PHONE, ANDROID TABLET, PRODEA and EXPLORA.
The Night Of is a one hour crime drama
series, in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where the brutal murder of
a young woman becomes the focus of an all-consuming murder
investigation, from the initial arrest to the imprisonment of the
prime suspect. Golden Globe nominee John Turturro stars as an
embattled defence attorney, who lucks into the biggest case of his
career. His young Pakistani-American client, played by Riz Ahmed, is
a likeable, unassuming college student whose life-and family-are
thrown into the pit of New York City’s criminal, legal and judicial
system, when he becomes the prime suspect in the case.
It’s a dark, intricate exploration
into the criminal justice system, that will leave no one emotionally,
mentally or psychologically unscathed.
The Night Of stars John Turturro (O
Brother Where Art Thou?, the Transformers movies) as Stone; Riz Ahmed
(Nightcrawler) as Naz; Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk
Empire) as Freddy; Bill Camp (12 Years a Slave) as Det. Dennis Box
and Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid) as Helen Weiss, the
prosecutor in the trial.
