First-look images have been released for new six-part drama series Stags, which comes from Sex Education<\/a> production company Eleven and features a stacked cast.<\/p>\n

The series, which will debut on Paramount Plus in August, stars Nico Mirallegro (Passenger<\/a>), Corin Silva (SAS: Rogue Heroes<\/a>), Charlie Cooper (This Country<\/a>), Sophie Lenglinger, Paul Forman (Doctor Who<\/a>) and Asim Chaudhry (Barbie<\/a>) and follows a group on a stag do for their friend Stu (Mirallegro) in South America.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis says: \u201cWhat 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuickly 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miraellegro was most recently seen in Passenger, the ITV thriller from creator, writer and Broadchurch star\u00a0Andrew Buchan<\/a>, while Forman had a role in the most recent episode of Doctor Who, Rogue<\/a>.<\/p>

When Stags was first announced, executive producer Carissa Hope Lynch said: \u201cThe incredible cast and standout creative team are a real testament to Daniel\u2019s distinct and darkly comic scripts.<\/p>\n

\u201cStags is a balls out series, packed with plot twists that\u2019ll give the keenest genre buff whiplash. We\u2019re so thrilled to bring this savage tale to Paramount+.\u201d<\/p>\n
