Ridley Scott’s new crime drama Dope Thief has an official premiere date.
The eight-episode series from Peter Craig (The Batman, Top Gun: Maverick), and executive produced by Scott (Gladiator, The Martian), who also directs the first episode, has a global premiere set for March 14, 2025 on Apple TV+.
Based on Dennis Tafoya’s book of the same name, 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 stars Academy Award nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta, Causeway), who also serves as executive producer.
The ensemble cast starring alongside Henry includes 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 (the Mission: Impossible franchise).
Dope Thief is from Apple Studios and is a Scott Free Production.
The series debuts with the first two episodes on Friday, March 14, 2025, followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25.
