Taboo looks to be one of the most intriguing new series to come out in 2017, with Tom Hardy at the helm of what so far is an incredibly mysterious period revenge thriller.
Set in 1841, Hardy stars as James Keziah Delaney, the heir to a trading empire who's presumed dead for a number of years before he makes his return to England to find what's left of his family's legacy.
Facing a number of enemies and conspiracies by the East India Company, he's faced with a mission to take down those opposing him, helped with a cache of rare diamonds which he's gained through means not yet explained.
Hardy came up with the idea for the series himself alongside his father Chip, before the pair teamed up with Ridley Scott and Steven Knight to produce the miniseries.
Taboo will premiere in the US on FX in January, 2017.
