Mint, one of JOE's most anticipated 2026 TV shows, is finally airing on the BBC next week.
Having earned very glowing early buzz upon its premiere at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival in February, the Glasgow-shot series stars Emma Laird (28 Years Later, The Brutalist) as Shannon, the daughter of a dominant crime family.
Having grown up protected within the "surreal, yet violent confines of the family business", things change once she falls for Arran (musician Loyle Carner), a member of a rival gang who has been causing Shannon's father "so much trouble".
You can check out the stylish trailer for Mint below:
Created, written and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Charlotte Regan (2023's Scrapper), the show consists of eight episodes.
The first two of these will air on BBC One on Monday, 20 April at 9pm.
If you are based in the UK, all episodes of Mint will also arrive on the BBC iPlayer at 6am that same day.
For those in the Republic of Ireland, where the BBC iPlayer is not accessible, viewers who want to tune in to the series will have to watch it live weekly.
Or they may be able to record the episodes themselves through their streaming TV box to check them out at a later point.
