Paramount+ has released the official trailer for UK original drama series Stags. The six-part series, produced by Eleven (Sex Education, Ten Pound Poms) is debuting exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland on August 15th. Global sales are handled by Sony Pictures Television.
The series follows groom-to-be Stu (Nico Mirallegro: Passenger) and his friends on his stag do in South America. What was meant to be a week of drink, debauchery, and fun takes a dark turn. Instead of boarding a flight back to the UK, the stags are sent to a lawless prison island run by two warring siblings. Quickly it becomes clear that the stags need to pick a side to have any chance of survival. Friendships are tested and life-long loyalty is sacrificed as Stu and his mates begin to question who will make it home alive.
