BBC Sets April 20 Launch for Mint, a Romantic Crime Drama From Charlotte Regan

The eight-part series pairs Emma Laird with musician Ben Coyle-Larner in his acting debut.

Overview

  • All eight episodes will land on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Monday, with BBC One airing the first two at 9pm that night.
  • Writer-director Charlotte Regan, known for the film Scrapper, makes her television debut with this project.
  • The story follows Shannon and Arran from rival crime families as a power shift hits her clan when Dylan steps down and Sam takes charge.
  • Emma Laird stars as Shannon and Ben Coyle-Larner (Loyle Carner) plays Arran, with Sam Riley, Laura Fraser, Lewis Gribben, Connor Newall and Lindsay Duncan rounding out the cast.
  • The release uses a BBC strategy that drops the full box set on iPlayer the same day as a BBC One premiere to grow streaming without losing a traditional slot.
