Mint TV: Here's how to watch the BBC's new crime drama Mint
Mint is now streaming in full on BBC iPlayer, with episodes airing on BBC One.
After filming in Grangemouth and Glasgow last year, BBC drama Mint has finally been released.
Now on BBC iPlayer and airing on BBC One from this evening (April 20), the new series from Scrapper filmmaker Charlotte Regan stars Emma Laird, Ben Coyle-Larner — the musician known as Loyle Carner, in his acting debut — Laura Fraser, Lindsay Duncan, and Sam Riley.
On choosing to film in Scotland, Regan said: “In Scotland, people are interested in it, especially somewhere like Grangemouth, where they don't get much filming.
“We tried to engage the community and when you do that, I find, they're super welcoming. Every day, they come and hang out and I love that atmosphere. The local cast are amazing as well. There are so many amazing actors in Scotland.”
