Charlie Hunnam is coming to Apple. Deadline reports the Sons of Anarchy star has joined the streaming service’s upcoming TV show, Shantaram.

Based on the book by Gregory David Roberts, the drama series “tells the story of Lin (Hunnam), a man on the run from an Australian prison looking to get lost in the teeming city of Bombay. Cut off from family and friends by distance and fate, he finds a new life in the slums, bars and underworld of India.”

Shantaram is expected to begin production in October. Apple TV+ has not yet announced a premiere date.
