The five-part limited series stars Academy Award(R) and BAFTA Award-winning actor Colin Firth and Catherine McCormack Premiering January 2, 2025 on Peacock and Sky

In the wake of the disaster and his daughter's death, Dr. Jim Swire (Colin Firth), is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims' families, who have united to demand truth and justice. The first look images show the relentless journey Jim embarks on in his search for the truth and justice, which includes traveling across continents to meet with Muammar Gaddafi and the lasting impact such catastrophic events had on Jim, Jane (Catherine McCormack) and their family.   

Caught in the crossfire of hidden motives.

#Lockerbie: A Search For Truth is streaming Jan. 2 on Peacock.

A NOTE FROM GARETH NEAME & NIGEL MARCHANT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS)

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 US 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. In part a profoundly moving character story of love and loss, this drama is as much an investigative political thriller that shows how an ordinary man with unstoppable determination can take on governments and world leaders in pursuit of truth.

ABOUT THE SERIES

ABOUT LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH

Inspired by the true-life story, on December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter's death, Dr Jim Swire (Firth), is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims' families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. As the truth shifts under Jim's feet, his view of the world is left forever changed. Exploring events from the disaster and its aftermath, Lockerbie: A Search For Truth provides an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who risks everything in memory of his daughter and the unflinching pursuit of truth and justice.
