Apple TV+ announced today the global premiere date for Dope Thief, a new crime drama series created by Peter Craig.
Based on Dennis Tafoya’s novel of the same name, the new crime drama series, Dope Thief, 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.
Dope Thief premieres globally with the first two episodes on Friday, March 14, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+, followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25.
The eight-episode series stars Academy Award®, Emmy®, and Tony nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta, Causeway, Bullet Train), who also serves as executive producer, along with 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 Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible” franchise).
Created and executive produced by Academy Award® nominee Peter Craig (The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick), the series is executive produced by Academy Award® nominee Ridley Scott (Gladiator, The Martian, Blade Runner), who also directs the first episode.
Dope Thief hails from Apple Studios and is a Scott Free Production. 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.
