DOPE THIEF - THE CREATOR AND STARS GIVE US THE LOWDOWN ON THIS NEW EXPLOSIVE SERIES

Settle in for one of them most explosive series you’ll see this year from Apple TV+.

“Dope Thief” is a new, eight-episode crime drama created and executive produced by Academy Award nominee Peter Craig, executive produced by Academy Award nominee Ridley Scott, who also directs the first episode, and starring Academy Award nominee Brian Tyree Henry, who also serves as executive producer. 

Based on Dennis Tafoya’s book of the same name, the series follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern Seaboard.

The ensemble cast starring alongside Emmy and Tony nominee Henry includes Wagner Moura, Marin Ireland, Kate Mulgrew, Nesta Cooper, Amir Arison, and Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames.

“Dope Thief” makes its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, March 14, 2025, followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25.
