Prison inmates will now be able to see how they are depicted in John Ibrahim's Last King of the Cross as drama series moves to Channel 10


Prison inmates will now be able to view the first season of John Ibrahim's Last King of the Cross on free-to-air, while he 'bunkers down' to write and co-produce the hit drama's dramatic finale.

The third season will centre on the June 2009 shooting of Ibrahim's younger brother Fadhi, who was shot four times in the stomach and twice in the arms and shoulders, by a masked man who crept up to the window of the now-51-year-old's Lamorghini outside his Castle Cove mansion. The first series kicks off in 1987 and was billed by Paramount as the story of: 'Wide-eyed kid John Ibrahim, who surreptitiously follows his older brother and hero, Sam, into the most exotic red-light district in the Southern Hemisphere.' Once a feared bikie boss, protection racketeer, and legendary Kings Cross enforcer, Hassam 'Sam' Ibrahim now lives in near seclusion with his ailing mother in Sydney's western suburbs after escaping deportation to Lebanon.
