BBC Two to Air Trust

The drama Trust, based on the notorious true-life kidnapping of the heir to billionaire John Paul Getty, has landed a U.K. slot, with BBC Two to launch the series this month.

The ten-part series was acquired from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution by BBC Two for an exclusive U.K. premiere. Trust stars Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games) as J. Paul Getty Senior, the oil tycoon and art collector at the head of the Getty family. The drama charts the teenage grandson’s nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back.

Trust is created by Simon Beaufoy and executive produced by Danny Boyle, Beaufoy and Christian Colson, with Boyle directing the first three episodes. The show is produced by FX Productions, Cloud Eight Films, Decibel Films and Snicket Films.
