For those looking for some lighthearted entertainment after Breaking Bad, I’m afraid you’re out of luck. Low Winter Sun debuts in the coveted post-Breaking Bad time slot and it’s definitely not a comedy. AMC’s new series premieres at 10pm on August 11, 2013 and stars Mark Strong, Lennie James, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Athena Karkanis, James Ransone, Sprague Greydon, Billy Lush, and David Costabile.

The Official Plot: Based on the 2006 award-winning British two-part miniseries of the same name written by Simon Donald and produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, Low Winter Sun is a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops and criminals is blurred.

This gritty, edgy, and provocative crime drama begins with an act of retribution — the murder of a dirty cop by a fellow Detroit detective, Frank Agnew (Strong). Seemingly the perfect crime, in reality the murder sets in motion forces that will forever alter the detective’s life and pull him into the heart of the Detroit underworld.
