Apple TV+ series “Shantaram.” “I love longform storytelling, and when I finished ‘Sons of Anarchy’ I knew at some point that I wanted to get into another television show,” Hunnam, 42, told The Post. Hunnam starred as swaggering biker Jax Teller on “Sons of Anarchy” (2008-2014). Since then, he’s focused on the big screen in movies including “The Lost City of Z,” “The Gentlemen,” “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” and “Triple Frontier.” “I think it was probably about three years after ‘Sons’ finished that I was given this book [that ‘Shantaram’ is based on],” he said.
“And it truly has been sort of an obsession, and a burning desire to be part of this team.” Premiering Oct. 14, “Shantaram” is based on a novel by Australian former heroin addict and convicted bank robber Gregory David Roberts.
The plot follows Lin Ford (Hunnam), a fugitive from prison who escapes to the vibrant world of 1980s Bombay. There, as a stranger in a strange land, he tries to create a new life for himself and avoid trouble.The show was filmed in India and Thailand, and Hunnam said that, while he spent time in the former country to get a feel for the “magic and beauty of the place,” it wasn’t a walk in the park.“I went through a period of bad luck where I contracted a very severe respiratory infection, a bacterial gut infection and a viral [infection],” he said.
“I had an ear infection, conjunctivitis in both eyes, and then got a mosquito bite and contracted dengue fever. And you know, Hollywood is Hollywood.
The show must go on! With all of those ailments, I still had to go to work for 14 hours a day. “So, that period of time that I was suffering from dengue fever and working 100-hour weeks was not great.”Nonetheless, he enjoyed hanging out with the

Apple TV just doesn’t seem to care as much as the others about the bottom line. They’re willing to drop a small fortune on shows that simply aren’t designed to break out in a way that would attract a mass audience.
the British actor Charlie Hunnam, best known as Jax in the crime drama Sons of Anarchy.

“If u saw me kick a guys ass after the show last night, I am sorry,” wrote comedian Kim Congdon on Twitter this weekend. “He sexually assaulted me after my set (and bragged about it on his way out), ruining an otherwise perfect night for me.”
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic “Bombay felt exhilaratingly free, a place where everyone started new.” That’s Lin Ford, played by Charlie Hunnam, speaking to us in voice-over about the city where he hopes to begin again. Today known as Mumbai, the Indian metropolis is many things; on “Shantaram,” it’s the staging ground for a white fugitive to lose and find himself. It’s that dynamic that tends to frustrate over the course of a long season. Based on the novel by Gregory David Roberts and executive produced by Steve Lightfoot, “Shantaram” is set in the 1980s, in the wake of Lin’s prison break. Making his way out of an Australian penal institution in the pilot episode, Lin, a recovering heroin addict, seeks to disappear into a city of millions before, potentially, moving on, but is perpetually drawn toward an intriguing, possibly amoral woman named Karla (Antonia Desplat). Rooted in place by this sense of nascent romance and by a growing affection for the place and its people, Lin begins establishing a life, even while repeatedly telling us that he’s aware that his past — his identity as a wanted man and his knowledge that he’s being urgently sought by the authorities — makes all of this a holiday from reality.

Katcy Stephan In a new episode of the Try Guys’ podcast “The TryPod,” Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld opened up at length about the removal of Ned Fulmer, who admitted on Sept. 27 that he engaged in what he called a “consensual” workplace affair and was the subject of an internal investigation. In the episode, titled “ok, let’s talk about it,” Habersberger and Kornfeld were joined by producer Miles Bonsignore to discuss the moments immediately following their discovery of Fulmer’s actions. “We processed this almost like a trauma,” Kornfeld explained. “It really rocked our word, but also the ramifications were so clear. I don’t think that I really ever stopped to emotionally process it. Even still, I don’t know that I have. Because it was just, ‘OK, we have to act. We have to go. This thing happened, how do we react accordingly?’ I understood the severity of the accusations against Ned, but also the laundry list of steps ahead.”
