Culprits: Release date, cast, trailer and latest news for Disney Plus heist series

However when a ruthless mystery assassin appears and begins picking them off one by one, they realise that moving on from their past may not be such an easy feat after all.

“Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love?” the official synopsis teases.

Talking to Variety about the series, writer and director J Blakeson said: "Heists have been done so many times, the great thing about this is that you can sort of play in that sandbox with the tropes and the expectations and the iconography of the heist, but actually tell a story, which is much more about these people who are dealing with this bad thing they’ve done and the consequences of their actions and trying to escape who they were and are trying to become a person who they’d like to be. And there’s sort of this looming shadow of your past over you the whole time."
