Watch the Trailer for AMC's 'The Salisbury Poisonings'

Hit BBC drama The Salisbury Poisonings will arrive in America this October, debuting on premium cable service AMC+ ahead of its linear broadcast in 2021.

The four-part series tells the real-life story of the 2018 nerve agent attack on Russian spy - and double agent - Sergei Skripal. Within three days of the assassination, agencies discovered the lethal nerve agent Novichok was used, which is deadly enough that a half teaspoon could kill 20,000 people. And hundreds of traces of the chemical agent were found across the city.

The series was a massive hit for the BBC earlier this year, clocking in as the corporation's highest-rated series in five years. (Tied with the fantasy drama His Dark Materials.)
