Watch the first 3 minutes of the new season of COPPER, BBC America’s breakthrough original drama series, before the premiere *** Sunday June 23 at 10pm/9c *** only on BBC America.
It’s February 5, 1865 – and the Five Points slum remains a bedlam. Young men are dying and disappearing at an alarming rate and career criminal Buzzie Burke (guest star NOAH DANBY) is terrorizing the Sixth Ward.
It starts off with a rare serene moment outside the city, but fair warning: It gets bloody and violent pretty quickly. Viewer discretion advised.

New York City, 1865. There Are No City Limits.
COPPER, an American saga set in 1865 New York City, returns for a second season on the brink of Lincoln’s assassination — with shifts in politics and society altering the landscape for Irish immigrants and African-Americans.
At the center, Detective Kevin Corcoran struggles to tame the wartime metropolis while wrestling with personal demons, including the betrayal of his wife and best friend.
And when Tammany Hall’s outspoken General Brendan Donovan (DONAL LOGUE, Vikings, Sons of Anarchy, Terriers), returns from the Civil War to restore law and order in the Sixth Ward, loyalties will be bought and sold both uptown and in the slums of the Five Points as Corcoran, and those around him, fight to find their places in an unforgiving city.
