TABOO (2016) TV Mini-Series Spot: Tom Hardy Has Knowledge of the Dead [FX]

Taboo TV Mini-Series Spot

The first TV commercial for the TV mini-series Taboo (2016) has been released. In the Taboo TV spot, James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) tells someone off-screen that he knows things about the dead. Delaney also tells someone in the promo that he has sworn to do undisclosed things. Some of those undisclosed things were touched upon in the trailer for Taboo, released a few months ago.

With Sons of Anarchy having completed its run, FX is looking for a new, dark drama. Taboo certainly fits that criteria.

Taboo‘s plot synopsis: “Set in 1814, Taboo follows James Keziah Delaney, a man who has been to the ends of the earth and comes back irrevocably changed. Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, James must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.”

Taboo, produced by Ridley Scott and Steven Knight, also stars Jonathan Pryce, Scroobius Pip, Leo Bill, Oona Chaplin, David Hayman, Michael Kelly, Fiona Skinner, Jason Watkins, and Edward Hogg.
