Charlie Hunnam Is on the Run in First Look at Apple TV+ Series ‘Shantaram’ (Photo)

“Sons of Anarchy” star Charlie Hunnam is apparently running from the law in his latest project, “Shantaram.”

In the first look photo for the Apple TV+ series, which the streamer released on Monday, Hunnam sits atop a motorcycle in what appears to be a run down encampment. The series, based on the novel by Gregory David Roberts, stars Hunnam as a character named Lin Ford, who is “looking to get lost in vibrant and chaotic 1980s Bombay,” per a logline.

“Alone in an unfamiliar city, Lin struggles to avoid the trouble he’s running from in this new place. After falling for an enigmatic and intriguing woman named Karla, Lin must choose between freedom or love and the complications that come with it,” per the streamer.
