First look at Copper, starring Spooks Tom Weston-Jones

BBC America has released two new trailers, both very similar, but one with more extended scenes for all new original series COPPER – from Academy Award Winner Barry Levinson (Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man) and Emmy Award Winner Tom Fontana (Oz, Homicide: Life on the Streets)..

Created by Fontana and Academy Award-nominee Will Rokos (Monster’s Ball, Southland), COPPER stars Tom Weston-Jones (Spooks/MI-5) and Franka Potente (The Bourne Supremacy, Run Lola Run), Kyle Schmid (Blood Ties), Anastasia Griffith (Royal Pains, Damages), Ato Essandoh (Damages) and Kevin Ryan (Tripping Tommy).

Summary

“COPPER is a gripping crime series set in 1860s New York City, and centers on Kevin Corcoran, an intense, rugged Irish-immigrant cop working the city’s notorious Five Points neighborhood. Corcoran is struggling to maintain his moral compass in a turbulent world while on an emotional and relentless quest to learn the truth about the disappearance of his wife and the death of his daughter.

His friendship with two Civil War compatriots — the wayward son of a wealthy industrialist and an African American physician who secretly assists Corcoran with his work — takes him to the contrasting worlds of elegant Fifth Avenue and an emerging African-American community in rural northern Manhattan. The three men share a secret from their experience on the battlefield that inextricably links their lives forever.”

Copper will air on BBC America in August.

  1. Can’t wait to see this,and I also have followed Kyle Schmid’s since Blood Ties and love him in new roles…

  2. I love period pieces and can’t wait to see this.  Have followed Kyle Schmid’s career since Blood Ties and this seems like a role that he can really make his own.  Hoping it gets picked up for a second season as it looks extremely well written.
