DIRTY: PRIME VIDEO ANNOUNCES NEW UK THRILLER FROM MATT CHARMAN

Prime Video will launch new UK Original Dirty, a gripping, emotionally charged crime thriller created by Academy Award-nominated writer Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies, Treason, Hostage).

The ongoing series offers a fresh and provocative take on a British police drama, exploring universal themes of family loyalty, moral compromise, and the corrosive nature of power through an intricate game of cat-and-mouse between mother and daughter. Production is set to begin in September 2026 in the UK.

Trainee Detective Eva Bennett returns to Manchester and joins a new homicide investigation run by her fearsome estranged mother - the legendary Detective Chief Inspector Lois Mercer. As they navigate their complicated relationship and long-buried truths resurface, Eva starts to uncover Lois’ crimes, forcing an impossible choice between justice and blood.

Dirty will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide as part of Amazon MGM Studios' expanding global slate of premium international scripted series, extending the studio's bold storytelling across genres and formats.  Prime subscribers in the UK can enjoy savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership for just £8.99 per month or £95 per year. 

Dirty is produced by Binocular in association with Amazon MGM Studios. Foz Allan serves as Executive Producer and the series is created and written by Matt Charman.

Nicole Clemens, Vice President of International Originals Amazon MGM Studios commented: “Having long admired Matt’s exceptional work, I am thrilled we are collaborating with him on this remarkable project. Centered on two extraordinarily powerful women, it delivers the bold, character-driven storytelling that Global Prime Video audiences have come to expect, and we look forward to sharing it with viewers around the world.”

Matt Charman showrunner commented: “I love the power and the volatility of these two women. There are no limits on what either of them is capable of, which makes the potential of every scene explosive. Nicole and the entire team at Amazon understood the show instantly — they’re deeply passionate about the blend of character-driven drama and relentless propulsion. I can’t wait to share what we’ve been cooking up.”
