75 The Outlaws: Season 1

Comedy series debuts April 1 on Prime Video

This comedic thriller about a diverse group of minor lawbreakers sentenced to perform community service—who then band together when one of them becomes tangled with organized crime—comes from The Office co-creator Stephen Merchant and Mayans M.C. writer Elgin James. Merchant also stars alongside Christopher Walken (in his first ongoing TV role since Guiding Light in the 1950s), Clare Perkins, Rhianne Barreto, Gamba Cole, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Darren Boyd. All six episodes stream today, and the series, a BBC co-production, has already been renewed for a second season following positive reviews for the show's UK debut last fall.
