“I’m tired of being a passenger in my own life!” AMC has revealed a teaser trailer for a thriller series called Parish, arriving for streaming in 2024. It’s a US update on the British mini-series The Driver from 2014, with a similar premise. AMC’s quick synopsis only introduces it as: “Quit being a passenger in your own life and take back control.” The series actually follows a taxi driver whose life is turned upside down when he agrees to pick-up a Zimbabwean gangster known for exploiting many undocumented immigrants at the U.S. southern ports. Giancarlo Esposito stars in this series as “the driver” who decides to get revenge. The full cast also includes Arica Himmel, Paula Malcomson, Ivan Mbakop, Bonnie Mbuli, Zackary Momo, Dax Rey, and Skeet Ulrich. There’s barely 30 seconds in this teaser, but it’s enough to get your attention, setting the intense tone with Esposito looking extremely pissed off. Time for him to take control! Drive on.
Here’s the first look teaser trailer for AMC+’s series Parish, direct from AMC+’s YouTube:
