Bryan Tyree Henry is heading to Apple TV+ next year and new imgaes give us a first look at him and the star-studded cast in Dope Thief.

Created and executive produced by Peter Craig (“The Batman” and “Top Gun: Maverick”), the eight-part drama is executive produced by Ridley Scott (“Gladiator,” “The Martian,” “Blade Runner”), who also directs the first episode.

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 series is executive produced by Craig alongside Scott, as well as David W. Zucker, Richard Heus, Henry, Jordan Sheehan, Clayton Krueger and Jennifer Wiley-Moxley.

Henry (“Atlanta,” “Causeway,” “Bullet Train”), who also serves as executive producer, is joined on screen by Wagner Moura (“Narcos,” “Civil War”), Marin Ireland (“The Umbrella Academy,” “Sneaky Pete”), Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Prodigy,” “The Magnificent Meyersons”), Nesta Cooper (“See”), Amir Arison (“The Blacklist”) and Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible” franchise).

You can see them in action on 14th March 2025, when the first two episodes of the series premiere on Apple TV+ – followed by episodes weekly until the finale on 25th April.
