A new comedy thriller series, Black Ops, is confirmed for BBC One and BBC iPlayer

New six-part (6×30) comedy thriller, Black Ops, is created by actress and writer Gbemisola Ikumelo (Famalam, Brain In Gear), actor and producer Akemnji Ndifornyen (Famalam, The Queen’s Gambit), and writing duo Joe Tucker and Lloyd Woolf (Click And Collect, Witless).

Black Ops is the story of Dom and Kay, who join the Met Police in the hope of cleaning up their community but are unwittingly thrust into the murky world of deep cover infiltration as they become part of a powerful criminal enterprise. But for Dom and Kay it quickly becomes more of a fiasco than Donnie Brasco…

Gbemisola Ikumelo, Creator and Writer says:

“These characters have been swimming around in my head for a long time and so finally seeing them get to live and speak and just be ridiculous is super exciting. We have such an amazing team bringing this to life and I hope audiences really fall in love with them like I have.”

Akemnji Ndifornyen, Creator and Producer says:

“Black Ops is something special and I can’t wait to take you all on this adventure with Dom and Kay!”
