BBC commissions pre-apocalyptic crime drama Hard Sun from Luther creator Neil Cross

December 6, 2015 by Gary Collinson

The BBC has announced that it has commissioned a new six-part series from Luther creator Neil Cross entitled Hard Sun, which is described as a “pre-apocalyptic crime drama”.

“Imagine the world you see when you look out your window… except it’s been given a death sentence,” states Cross. “This isn’t science fiction. This is the real world. There’s no hero to come save us; no contingency plan. We’ve got five years. This is the world of Hard Sun… and the world of Elaine Renko and Robert Hicks. What’s it like, trying to keep order, trying to enforce the law in a city that, day by day, slips closer to certain destruction? How do you get up in the morning? How do you get out of bed and leave your family and go out there, putting your own life at risk? And what about the predators? What about the murderers, the rapists, the thieves? What about the psychopaths, the religious nuts, the cult leaders, the serial killers? Who among them would fear a prison sentence, in a world like this? Who among them would fear legal consequences? What does a life sentence even mean, any more? What’s the point of justice in the face of Armageddon? I’ve had Renko and Hicks and their world rattling round my head for a while now. I’m incredibly happy that, like me, they’ve found their home at the BBC. I can’t wait for you to meet them.”
