Filming has begun on the Mammoth Screen-produced series, which will see Tahar Rahim play Charles Sobrhaj, one of the most elusive criminals of the 20th century.
Coleman will play Marie-Andrée Leclerc, Sobhraj’s partner and frequent accomplice, with Howle and Bamber cast as Herman and Angela Knippenberg. Charles Sobhraj was the chief suspect in the unsolved murders of up to 20 young Western travelers across India, Thailand and Nepal’s "Hippie Trail" in 1975 and 1976. Psychopath, con man, thief and master of disguise, having slipped repeatedly from the grasp of authorities worldwide, by 1976 serial killer Sobhraj was Interpol's most wanted man and had arrest warrants on three different continents.
When Herman Knippenberg , a junior diplomat at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok, unwittingly walks into Sobhraj’s intricate web of crime, he sets off an extraordinary chain of events that will see Knippenberg seek to bring Sobhraj to justice for his terrible crimes.
