First Look: New Crime Series Hits Apple TV+

Want to know what's cooking in the world of TV crime dramas? An upcoming series called Dope Thief has just revealed its first images. Produced by none other than Ridley Scott, this show is set to debut on Apple TV+ in early 2025. The series follows two DEA agents, played by Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura, as they stumble upon a big drug operation in Philadelphia. The first three photos shared by The Hollywood Reporter give us a sneak peek into the show's mood. One image shows Henry grabbing something from a truck, sporting a DEA coat. Another image features Nesta Cooper, whose role is still a mystery. The story begins with a small drug bust that expands into a major investigation involving a criminal network across the East Coast. Scott is not just producing the series but also directing the first episode. This is his latest collaboration with novelist Peter Craig, who's making his TV debut after writing major film hits like Gladiator II and Top Gun: Maverick. Dope Thief isn't short on star power. Alongside Henry and Moura, the cast includes Marin Ireland, Kate Mulgrew, Amir Arison, Ving Rhames, and Dustin Nguyen. The series is set to air weekly from March to April 2025. With Apple TV+ known for its quality originals, Dope Thief looks promising. Its dark and foreboding tone might just make it a standout in the world of crime TV shows.
