Ready for some solid acting? How about an original concept drama? I’m here for what’s brewing with Apple TV+’s new ‘Smoke’ series?
The trailer alone looks insane and the quality? Superb. Get into the fun and lock in June 27.
Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for its upcoming crime drama “Smoke,” reuniting the creative team behind Apple TV+’s acclaimed hit limited drama “Black Bird,” and starring and executive produced by Emmy Award nominee Taron Egerton. “Smoke” will make its global debut on Apple TV+ on June 27, 2025 with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Friday through August 15, 2025.
Created and written by Dennis Lehane and inspired by true events, “Smoke” follows an arson investigator who begrudgingly teams up with a police detective as their race to stop two arsonists ignites a twisted game of secrets and suspicions. Starring Egerton as arson investigator ‘Dave Gudsen’ and Emmy Award nominee Jurnee Smollett as police detective ‘Michelle Calderone,’ the cast of “Smoke” also features Rafe Spall, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Emmy Award nominee Anna Chlumsky, Adina Porter, Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee Greg Kinnear, and Emmy Award winner John Leguizamo. Thom Yorke wrote and performed the “Smoke” main title which is available on Apple Music and all streaming platforms now.
Hailing from Apple Studios, “Smoke” is created by Lehane, who also serves as writer and executive producer. Egerton executive produces alongside Richard Plepler on behalf of EDEN Productions and Bradley Thomas and Dan Friedkin through Imperative Entertainment as well as Kari Skogland, Joe Chappelle and Jane Bartelme. The fictional series is inspired by truth.media’s acclaimed “Firebug” podcast, which was hosted by the Oscar and Emmy-winning Kary Antholis, who executive produces for Crime Story Media, LLC. Emmy Award winner Marc Smerling serves as executive producer for Truth Podcasting Corp. Series directors include Skogland, Chappelle, and Jim McKay.
