Overview
- The BBC confirmed the acquisition on Thursday, May 21, saying it has secured all six episodes of The Uniform for BBC iPlayer and a BBC Four broadcast.
- The Uniform is a Danish-language, six-part drama that centres on a trainee shooting at a police academy and the fallout that raises questions about loyalty, corruption and political pressure.
- Lead performances include Soheil Bavi, Marco Ilsø, Clara Rosager and Lene Maria Christensen as part of a larger Danish ensemble praised in early reviews.
- The series was a popular and well-reviewed hit when it aired in Denmark earlier this year, with critics praising its casting and moral complexity.
- The BBC is positioning the show for fans of gritty UK policing dramas such as Line of Duty and Broadchurch, and it has not yet announced a confirmed UK airdate.
