The Gold cast list and characters explored

Paramount+'s new crime drama series, The Gold, is all set to premiere on the streaming platform on Sunday, June 25, 2023. The show is reportedly inspired by the notorious Brink's-Mat robbery that took place in London in 1983. Here's a short description of the series, as per BBC:

''On the 26 November 1983, six armed men broke into the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport, and inadvertently stumbled across gold bullion worth £26m. What started as 'a typical Old Kent Road armed robbery' according to detectives at the time, became a seminal event in British criminal history, remarkable not only for the scale of the theft, at the time the biggest in world history, but for its wider legacy.''

The description further reads,

''The disposal of the bullion caused the birth of large-scale international money laundering, provided the dirty money that helped fuel the London Docklands property boom, united blue and white collar criminals and left controversy and murder in its wake.''

The series stars Hugh Bonneville in one of the major roles, along with various others playing important supporting characters. It is helmed by Aneil Karia and Lawrence Gough.
