Get ready to be thrilled! The latest trailer for 'Safe Harbor', a European crime drama, is here. This show, created by Mark Williams, promises to deliver an action-packed experience. "I wanted to blow stuff up and make sure the stakes are high. That's how you keep viewers hooked, " Williams says.

The story unfolds in Rotterdam, Europe's biggest port. Meet Tobias, a talented hacker played by Alfie Allen, and his ambitious friend Marco, played by Martijn Lakemeier. These two misfits dream of joining the tech billionaires club. But their plans go awry when they cross paths with the Irish mob.

The mob, led by Sloane (Charlie Murphy) and her brother Farrell (Jack Gleeson), another Game of Thrones alum, recruits Tobias and Marco. Their mission? Hack into the harbor's security system to steal undetected shipments of drugs.

Allen shared how he prepared for his role: "I learned about hackers, the good and the bad ones. Tobias had a troubled past with his father and no mother, which was interesting to explore. "

Rotterdam's unique architecture adds an exotic touch to the series. "It's visually stunning with buildings built on stilts. It gives the series a unique feel, " Allen says.

Inspired by a true story, 'Safe Harbor' is produced by Submarine, Zero Gravity, and Night Train Media. It's been greenlit by Dutch and Belgian streaming services, Videoland and Streamz.

Femke Wolting, Submarine's managing director, loves the story's twist. "It's about regular guys becoming digital drug lords, " she says.

Williams aims to keep the tech aspects simple. "Nobody wants to see people typing on computers for hours. We focus on relationships and drama, " he explains.

Plans for a second series are already in the works, with an outline ready.
