James struggles to manage both his lives, avoid an arrest and save his crumbling marriage. The show also stars Joseph Sikora, as James’ partner Tommy Egan and Lela Loren as Angela Valdes. Rapper 50 Cent appears as rival drug-dealer Kanan Starks in the series. After the acclaim for the first five seasons, Starz network has renewed it for a sixth season which is scheduled to air in 2019. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
