‘Parish’ Trailer: Giancarlo Esposito Is Driver on Collision Course With Crime Syndicate (PHOTOS)
“Over and over, people keep backing me into a corner, and it’s gotta stop,” Gracian “Gray” Parish (Better Call Saul star Giancarlo Esposito) says in the teaser for his new series (on which he’s also an executive producer). “I’m tired of being the passenger in my own life.”
In addition to the video, which you can watch above, AMC Network has released photos from Parish. The six-episode series, shot on-location in New Orleans, is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ in 2024.
Gray is “a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans. After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gray on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate,” according to AMC.
The ensemble cast includes Zackary Momoh as New Orleans-based Zimbabwean gangster The Horse; Paula Malcomson as Parish’s wife and mother to his two children, Rose; Skeet Ulrich as an old acquaintance to Gray, Colin; Bonnie Mbuli as Shamiso Tongai, The Horse’s smart and protective older sister; Ivan Mbakop as The Horse’s brother, Zenzo; Arica Himmel as Gray and Rose’s daughter Makayla; and Dax Rey as The Horse’s son Luke.
Bradley Whitford recurs as Anton, the charming and intelligent face of industrial business in Louisiana who covertly heads a criminal organization. His dispute with The Horse’s human trafficking ring puts him at direct odds with Parish. Amanda Brugel guest stars as Sister Anne, who has a mysterious past with Gray.
Parish is based on the hit U.K. series The Driver, created by Danny Brocklehurst and Jim Poyser. It is produced by AMC Studios, in association with A+E Studios and Thruline Entertainment. Brocklehurst serves as co-creator and executive producer. Eduardo Canto and Ryan Maldonado serve as showrunners and executive producers. Esposito also executive produces alongside Brocklehurst, Poyser, Jolyon Symonds and David Morrissey for Scribbler Films, Josh Kesselman, Danny Sherman, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, Theo Travers, and Red Production’s Nicola Shindler.
