The eight-part series, narrated by Emmy® Award-winning actor Ray Liotta, begins in 1905 and spans over 50 years to trace the rise of Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and other notorious gangsters from their beginnings as a neighborhood gang of teenagers to murderous entrepreneurs and bootleggers who organized the criminal underworld, turning the Mafia into an American institution.
AMC’s “Mob Mondays” kicks off with the world television premiere of the re-mastered 25th Anniversary feature presentation of 1990’s Oscar®-winning film Goodfellas (Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci) at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
On the series premiere episode “The Education of Lucky Luciano,” Charles “Lucky” Luciano arrives in New York, teaming with Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel. During Prohibition, Luciano’s crew makes a fortune.
“The Making of The Mob: New York” is executive produced by Emmy® Award-winning Stephen David Entertainment (“The World Wars,” “The Men Who Built America”). Utilizing an immersive blend of dramatic scenes, archival footage and groundbreaking VFX, “The Making of The Mob: New York” is AMC’s first ever docu-drama featuring testimonials paired with scripted re-enactments. Notable figures featured throughout the series include former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Meyer Lansky II, Chazz Palminteri, Drea de Matteo, Joe Mantegna, Frankie Valli, Mob attorney and former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman and noted author and historian David Pietrusza, among many others.
Additionally, viewers will not want to miss a new episode of AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire,” airing on Sunday, June 14 at 10pm ET/PT. The series, which stars Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis and Kerry Bishé, picks up in early 1985 and centers on the rise of Mutiny, Cameron (Davis) and Donna’s (Bishé) start-up company that is built upon the most disruptive idea of the modern era—the Internet. Critics are raving about the series, including Tirdad Derakhshani at The Philadelphia Inquirer who called this season “fresher, better, stronger.”
On the new episode, “The Way In,” as Bosworth tries to reconnect with his former life, the Clarks receive a surprising invitation; meanwhile, a problem from within Mutiny threatens its survival.
