Amazon Prime Video has given fans a first look at their upcoming British drama series “Jungle” with new photos and a teaser trailer.
Prime Video released the clip related to the day at the Television Critics Assn. press tour. Produced by Nothing Lost, “Jungle” is a six-part scripted series told with both rap/drill music and dialogue. It follows the lives of several strangers in inner-city London, each dealing with their unique struggles.
“Often misunderstood, it’s a world where one law rules everything: only the fittest will survive,” the log line reads. “As the strangers’ worlds begin to unravel around them, they come to the realization that every action, no matter how small, has a consequence.”
Some of the UK’s best rap and drill artists feature in the lineup including Tinie Tempah, Big Narstie, Unknown T, Jordan McCann, Jaykae, IAMDDB, Double Lz, M24 and more.
In the first photos, fans can see RA as Slim (pictured above), Amaria BB as Bianca and Ezra Elliot as Gogo (pictured below).
Junior Okoli and Chas Appeti, who were featured on Variety’s 10 Europeans to Watch list earlier this year, created and executive produce the show, which will debut on Amazon Prime Video on September 30.
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Nothing Lost on this brilliantly fresh and unique U.K. Amazon Original series,” said Georgia Brown, director of European Amazon Originals for Prime Video, when the project was first announced.
“‘Jungle’ will shine a light on the amazing creativity of the UK’s drill, grime and rap music scenes and hopefully empower a diverse collection of UK storytellers to create captivating content that reflects the diversity of Britain today.”
