Sky 1 Picks Up Noel Clarke/Ashley Walters Cop Drama ‘Bulletproof’
Sky has picked up ‘Bulletproof‘, a new police drama starring Noel Clarke & Ashley Walters they have announced.
Coming to Sky 1 next year, ‘Bulletproof’ sees Clarke & Walters as police duo, Bishop and Pike – two best mates, bonded by the same moral code despite their very obvious differences. Packed full of humour, action, and emotion, the show centres on the relationships between fathers and sons and is about friendship, conspiracies and ghosts from the past.
Growing up Bishop (Clarke) and Pike (Walters) had very different lives. Pike’s dad was the first black police commissioner and he grew up always trying to live up to his expectations, while Bishop grew up looking for a father figure as he was passed around foster homes, moving from school to school.
Their pasts have shaped their different approaches to life, and yet they have a love and respect for each other that seems unbreakable. Their friendship is yet to be properly tested until now…
The show is created by Clarke, Walters and Nick Love (‘The Football Factory’), and produced by Vertigo Films, the makers of ‘The Football Factory’, ‘Monsters’, and ‘The Sweeney’.
“I’m ecstatic that the show Ashley, myself and Nick created is here,” comments Clarke. “We’ve worked many years in the industry, but never all together. We’ve grown and evolved as artists and this will be a series that fans and non-fans alike will be drawn to. Enjoy the ride!”
“I am really excited to be working with Noel and Nick on this project,” adds Walters. “I have been inspired by both of them for years and collaborating with them on this will produce something amazing. Years in the making but finally here !!! #alwayswinning”
‘Bulletproof‘ will come to Sky 1 in 2018.
