A sneak peek at The Mandalorian and Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito's new TV crime thriller Parish has been unveiled.

The upcoming six-part AMC show is based on UK BBC series The Driver, and follows a man who faces off against a crime syndicate after his son is killed and his business collapses.

In the short teaser, we see Esposito's character Gracian Parish say a prayer in church, contrasted with violent scenes including car chases and an explosion.

The full synopsis reads: "Esposito stars as Gracian 'Gray' Parish, a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans.

"After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gray on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate."

Parish also stars Doctor Sleep's Zackary Momoh, Watchmen's Paula Malcomson, Scream's Skeet Ulrich and Wallander's Bonnie Mbuli.

Also on board are Hawkeye's Ivan Mbakop, Black-ish's Arica Himmel, The Good Fight's Dax Rey, and The Handmaid’s Tale's Bradley Whitford and Amanda Brugel.

Original The Driver co-creator Danny Brocklehurst has returned as co-creator and executive producer of Parish, while Eduardo Javier Canto and Ryan Maldonado are on board as showrunners. Esposito is also an executive producer.

Esposito is perhaps best known for playing iconic villain Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, and in recent years has portrayed Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, Stan Edgar in The Boys, and Leo Pap in Netflix series Kaleidoscope.

Parish is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ in March in the US.
