We’re excited to unveil a first look at Smoke (formerly known as Firebug), Apple’s upcoming crime drama series created by Dennis Lehane and starring Taron Egerton, who also serves as an executive producer. The nine-episode series is set to premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 27, with the first two episodes available at launch, followed by a new episode released every Friday until August 8.
Inspired by true events, Smoke follows troubled detective Michell Calderon (played by Emmy-nominated Jurnee Smollett) and enigmatic arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Egerton) as they track down two serial arsonists.
The impressive cast includes Rafe Spall, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Emmy-nominated Anna Chlumsky, Adina Porter, Oscar and Emmy-nominated Greg Kinnear, and Emmy winner John Leguizamo. The series draws inspiration from the acclaimed Firebug podcast produced by truth.media and hosted by Oscar and Emmy-winning Kary Antholis, who also serves as an executive producer for Crime Story Media, LLC. Emmy winner Marc Smerling is an executive producer for Truth Podcasting Corp.
