Season 4
The team of expert con artists is back, as Hustle returns for another season of slick and sophisticated cons.
Could it be all change for the team? With the loss of Mickey Bricks to an overseas sabbatical, it’s time for someone else to lead the gang.
When Danny steps up to the plate, can the others convince him that the team needs another member – especially when it comes in the form of street kid Billy Bond?
As always, there are plenty of ‘marks’ who are greedy, rude or amoral enough to be parted from their cash. Targets include a porn baron, a ruthless nursing home owner, and a charity crook – and that’s just for starters.
The crew also hit LA and Las Vegas, but when they’re not on their home turf, will their audacious attempts catch up with them in the end?
In the Season 4 premiere:
With Mickey heading to Australia to help pull off a major con, Danny feels it's time for him to take the lead. To make his mark, he comes up with an ambitious plan to sell the Hollywood sign to Texan movie memorabilia fanatic Anthony Westley (Robert Wagner).
Once in LA, Danny convinces Westley that the sign is being put up for sale to be replaced with a brand new one.
Westley's willing to pay big money to get his hands on the sign and will stop at nothing to ensure he wins the bid. But how will the gang get the cash if they can't deliver the sign itself?
