The BBC has acquired the upcoming drama series 'Kabul,' which is set against the backdrop of the real-life events in Afghanistan in 2021. The series follows the withdrawal of American troops from Kabul and the entry of the Taliban into the city. It is one of the last shows to feature the late actor Eric Dane. The series is produced by Mediawan for the European Alliance of broadcasters. The acquisition highlights the BBC's interest in telling stories based on recent historical events. Eric Dane, who passed away, was known for his role in the series 'Grey's Anatomy,' among other works. His involvement in 'Kabul' adds poignancy to the production. The series is currently in development, and no release date has been announced. The show aims to capture the chaos and tension of the US withdrawal, which was a major global news event. The BBC has not yet announced when 'Kabul' will air on its network. Viewers can expect a dramatic portrayal of the events surrounding the fall of Kabul in August 2021.
