Graham King & Ray Winstone Team For Crime Drama Series Set In London’s East End
Graham King and Ray Winstone are tapping into their East End roots for 'It's a F*cking Liberty,' a decades-spanning crime drama series.
The series is a turbulent rollercoaster following the story of a fierce matriarch, rise to power in the 1970s through the murderous betrayals of an underworld/criminal network of bent cops, and scheming politicians– diving into numerous subplots spanning the post WWII era, the mainland IRA’s bombing campaigns, and 21st century repercussions. It’s a F*cking Liberty is a culmination of years Graham King and Winstone had spent discussing the idea of a grounded and gripping deep-dive TV series that recreates personal never-before-told stories about London’s gangland history. They include 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which earned star Rami Malek an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddy Mercury, as well as Martin Scorsese’s crime drama The Departed, World War Z, Argo and Tomb Raider.
