British TV network Channel 4 recently announced that a full six-episode season of the Brit Marling-starring police comedy series, Babylon, has been ordered.  Paterson Joseph and Daniel Kaluuya are set to co-star.

From Channel 4:

“Coppers. The Sweeney. Plods. The Old Bill. London’s police force –
the oldest in the world – is in need of a public image revamp, and Chief
Constable Richard Miller (Jimmy Nesbitt) has found just the woman to do
it.

Introducing Liz Garvey (Brit Marling) – an American visionary from
the world of new media, parachuted in to revolutionise a PR department
struggling to keep up in an age of rolling news, smart phones and a
news-breaking, information-hungry public.

Also running operations at police HQ are Commissioner
Miller’s right-hand man Deputy Commissioner Charles Inglis (Paterson
Joseph), loyal Staff Officer Tom Oliver (Jonny Sweet) and Liz’s
second-in command, Finn (Bertie Carvel). Out on the streets Territorial
Support Group (TSG) officers Davina (Jill Halfpenny) and Robbie (Adam
Deacon) are tasked with upholding the peace – though Robbie would much
rather be playing with the big boys of Specialist Firearms Command
(SCO19), joining the likes Officer Neil (Andrew Brooke). Meanwhile
they’re trailed by fly-on-the-wall TV cameraman Matt Coward (Daniel
Kaluuya), desperate to capture some juicy footage at the heart of the
action.

Razor-sharp and visually audacious, Babylon takes a
wry look at the people and politics in the command rooms and on the
frontlines of a modern police force, as it attempts to uphold the peace
under constant scrutiny in one of the world’s busiest capital cities.”

The pilot episode of Babylon will shoot in autumn this year for an early
2014 TX, with a 6-part series ordered for production next year.
Babylon is commissioned by Piers Wenger, Channel 4’s Head of Drama, and
is created and exec produced by Danny Boyle, Robert Jones (The Usual
Suspects, Dirty Pretty Things), Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, and
produced by Jones and Derrin Schlesinger (This Is England ’86, Four
Lions, Southcliffe).
