Idris Elba‘s life story is heading to television!
Good news below…
‘In the Long Run’ is loosely based on the actor’s life as young African boy trying to find his way in the world in the fun-filled but occasionally mean streets of London.
Its home?
The U.K’s Sky channel which also houses ‘Game of Thrones’.
The series isn’t Elba’s ride on the scripted television train.
For, he enjoyed success with the series ‘Guerilla’ which he produced alongside Yvonne Isimeme Ibazebo as well as the show ‘Luther.’
Hit the play button to nab a taste of the latter below…
Keep it locked on TGJ for its premiere date.
