From The Talented Mr Ripley to Inventing Anna, we’ve long been hooked by the art of the on-screen con. In the world of grifting, there is surely no greater feat than an Oceans 8-style heist – but what happens after the con is over and the artists all go their separate ways? That’s the premise behind Culprits, a star-studded drama coming soon to Disney+.

A series of first-look images offers a closer peek into the story of Culprits, as well as a newly-released official trailer for the series. Here’s everything we know about Culprits so far.

What is the plot of Culprits?

The eight-part series revolves around a crew of elite criminals who attempt to leave their old lives behind them after one last job. But as a ruthless assassin starts to target them one by one, they realise it won’t be so easy to shake off their shared history.

As mayhem ensues, the gang is forced to reunite to uncover the culprit behind the attacks in order to protect themselves and the ones they love.

Who stars in Culprits?

Billed as “a thrilling and darkly funny crime series”, the Culprits cast includes Gemma Arterton, Eddie Izzard, Kirby (Cruella, The Good Place, Killing Eve), and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits). 

Niamh Algar (Deceit), Ned Dennehy (Outlander), Kamel El Basha, Tara Abboud and Kevin Vidal round out the cast – while its acclaimed producers’ credits include Killing Eve, The Undoing and The Night Manager.

So with Arterton’s past as a Bond girl and a cast that knows its way around a gripping crime drama, it’s sure to be a slick affair. Expect masterful dark comedy, despite the high stakes.

When will Culprits be released in the UK?

Culprits will premiere on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland on 8 November. But in the mean time, you can watch the trailer for the series below.
