Everything you need to know about Last King of the Cross
Last King of the Cross follows the story of John Ibrahim, an immigrant who rises from poverty and no education to become one of the biggest nightclub moguls in Australia.
However, this new industry comes with some shady figures who Ibrahim and his brother John have to navigate and work alongside in order to succeed.
Starting in the late 1980s, the series follows Ibrahim’s story through the decades that follows, including the changes within the clubbing industry, the drug-fuelled underground that fuels revellers, and his efforts to repel those who want to take his kingpin title.
Set in the Kings Cross district of Sydney, dubbed the ‘mecca of sin’, Last King of the Cross is loosely based on the real-life story of Ibrahim, who released an autobiography of the same name in 2017.
