Sky unveiled a trailer for its upcoming high-octane series titled Atomic, which is set to premiere towards the end of this month.

Atomic” is a thrilling, cinematic journey spanning over five episodes, taking us through the complex maze-like medinas and bustling cities of North Africa, across harsh deserts and tense border zones.
