Adventurer James Keziah Delaney returns to London during the War of 1812 to rebuild his late father's shipping empire. However, both the government and his biggest competitor want his inheritance at any cost – even murder.

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.

Critic Reviews:

• “The glimpses of London low life in the opening episode are tougher and more squalid than Dickens – and not a wholesome family watch: Poldark it ain't.” – Financial Times

• “The metaphorical gloom and doom of Taboo is likewise dense and relentless but so enveloping you can't help but be sucked in.” – Newark Star-Ledger

• “Tom Hardy's got a knack for playing enraged, muscled antiheroes, and his next small screen role looks to be capitalising on that same skill set.” – SFX Magazine
