By Apple TV+ has released the first photos from the Philadelphia-set crime series “Dope Thief” which is executive produced by Ridley Scott and Peter Craig, with Scott having directed the premiere.
Originally titled “Sinking Spring,” the eight-episode series is based on Dennis Tafoya’s novel and follows some long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside.
What was to be a small-time grift suddenly proves to have life-and-death stakes when they unwittingly reveal the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard.
Oscar-nominee Brian Tyree Henry stars and serves as executive producer, and he’s joined by Wagner Moura (“Narcos”), Marin Ireland (“The Umbrella Academy”), Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Prodigy”), Nesta Cooper (“See”), Amir Arison (“The Blacklist”), and Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible”).
The series was created by Oscar-nominee Peter Craig (“The Batman,” “Top Gun: Maverick”) for Scott Free Productions. David W. Zucker, Richard Heus, Henry, Jordan Sheehan, Clayton Krueger, and Jennifer Wiley-Moxley also executive produce.
“Dope Thief” will have its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, March 14th followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25th.
