Metropolis is an eight-part British television drama series, created and written by playwright Peter Morgan, that first broadcast on ITV on 1 May 2000. Produced and directed by Glenn Wilhide, and co-directed by Tim Whitby, the series follows a group of former university graduates who leave Leeds to start a new life in London. The series featured a notable cast including Matthew Rhys, Louise Lombard, Kris Marshall, Flora Montgomery, Emily Bruni, Jason Barry, James Fox and James Purefoy.

The series, described as "a more with-it Cold Feet", was produced by Granada Television, and broadcast over five nights, with the initial four hour-long episodes broadcasting on consecutive Mondays and Tuesdays at 10:00pm. The final, half-hour episode broadcast at 10:30pm on Monday 15 May. Music for the series was composed by Jonathan Whitehead. Despite gathering an adequate viewing audience, and moderately successful critical reviews, a second series was not commissioned, with the failure to be recommissioned blamed on "haphazard scheduling" and the change in episode length.

The series was later considered for an American re-make by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, but the pilot episode, filmed in 2008, was not picked up by ABC. Similarly, Thomas tried to revive the project in 2012 with The CW, although once again, never made it past the pilot stage. The complete series was released as a double VHS on 16 June 2000. The VHS release combines all five episodes into two feature length presentations, of 115 and 90 minutes respectively.
