Sky1 has secured the UK broadcast rights to Last Resort, a U.S. military drama that combines action, political intrigue, and moral conflict. The show centers around the crew of a U.S. submarine who go rogue after refusing an order to launch nuclear missiles.
Led by Captain Marcus Chaplin, the crew takes refuge on a remote island, declaring themselves a sovereign nation. As they face threats from all sides, the crew grapples with internal divisions and the consequences of defying their government.
Last Resort blends high-tension scenarios with ethical dilemmas, creating a narrative that challenges viewers to question authority and the true meaning of duty. Its unique premise and ensemble cast set it apart from other military dramas.
Sky1’s acquisition of the series reflects the channel’s strategy to offer bold and thought-provoking content that appeals to audiences seeking more than just action. The show promises drama on a global scale with very personal stakes.
The addition of Last Resort further enriches Sky1’s growing catalog of high-concept U.S. dramas.
