Lockerbie: A Search for Truth is inspired by the true story that followed the terrifying events of December 21, 1988, after 270 people were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the Scottish town.

Firth plays Jim Swire, the nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families who unite to demand truth and justice. Jim travels across continents and political divides, embarking on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. Catherine McCormack, Rosanna Adams, Jemma Carlton, Harry Redding, Sam Troughton, Mark Bonner, Ardalan Esmaili and Selwa Jghalef star alongside Firth. NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution is selling.

The series from Downton Abbey producer Carnival and Sky Studios will launch on January 2. It comes with the BBC and Netflix forging a separate Lockerbie drama starring Connor Swindells and Patrick J. Adams, while a Grierson-nominated Sky doc about the disaster from Louis Theroux’s Mindhouse aired late last year.

EPs Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant said: “The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 was one of the most devastating acts of terrorism that took the lives of 270 innocent people, including both U.S. and UK citizens. As the spokesperson for the UK victim’s families, we have followed Jim Swire’s remarkable story for over three decades. It is consequential to now watch Colin Firth’s captivating performance as he depicts Jim’s life’s work on screen.”

Neame, Marchant, Sam Hoyle, Liz Trubridge, Jim Sheridan, Kirsten Sheridan and Oskar Slingerland are EPing with director Otto Bathurst and writer David Harrower.
