《边缘之舞》的背景被设定在了1930年代的伦敦，讲述一支黑人爵士乐队的故事
他们在寻求名利的路上，一开始大获成功，甚至受到了皇室的欢迎，直到一位音乐记者开始调查一宗和他们相关的谋杀案……全剧充斥着种族主义、皇室特权、谋杀和爵士乐，展现了那个时代伦敦人的生与死、辉煌与堕落
剧中将会有不少熟悉的面孔出现，像是许久未见的帅哥马修·古迪、CBS被看剧《律政宝贝》的女主詹尼特·蒙特戈里、《特工绍特》中的黑人男星切瓦特·埃加福特、年轻男星汤姆·休斯，以及《梅林传奇》女星“滚娘”安琪儿·库碧 Chiwetel EjioforLouis Lester马修·古迪Stanley约翰·古德曼MastersonJacqueline BissetLady CremoneMel SmithSchlesingerAnthony HeadDonaldsonTom HughesJulianJanet MontgomerySarah导演Creator - Written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff制片人Producers - Faye Ward / Nicky Kentish Barnes监制Executive Producers - Alison Owen / Paul Trijbits / Stephen PoliakoffCommissioning Editor - Ben Stephenson, BBC DramaProduction Designer - Grant MontgomeryDirector of Photography - Ashley RoweCostume Designer - Lindsay PughCasting Director - Andy PryorMake-up Designer - Anne OldhamEditor - Chris WyattMusic and lyrics - Adrian Johnston
