Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura Are on the Run in Apple TV+ Crime Thriller ‘Dope Thief’ [TRAILER]

Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura are stepping into a world of crime and chaos in Dope Thief, the upcoming Apple TV+ series set to premiere on March 14, 2025. Based on Dennis Tafoya’s novel of the same name, the eight-episode drama follows two Philadelphia friends who pose as DEA agents to rob a secluded house. What starts as a low-level scam quickly escalates when they uncover a massive hidden narcotics corridor on the East Coast, putting their lives—and the lives of those they love—at risk.

The newly released trailer gives a glimpse into the duo’s ill-fated scheme, where their so-called easy money turns into a deadly manhunt. Explosions, shootouts, and high-stakes tension follow as they become fugitives, dodging both ruthless dealers and law enforcement. The series blends crime thriller intensity with deep character exploration, making for a gripping watch.

The ensemble cast includes Ving Rhames, Nesta Cooper, Marin Ireland, Kate Mulgrew, Amir Arison, and Dustin Nguyen, adding further weight to an already compelling premise. Behind the camera, Peter Craig, known for The Batman and Top Gun: Maverick, serves as creator, writer, and director, making his directorial debut. Ridley Scott directs the premiere episode and executive produces alongside Craig, Henry, Richard Heus, Jordan Sheehan, Clayton Krueger, and Jennifer Wiley-Moxley.

This marks Henry’s latest project with Apple TV+ following his Oscar-nominated performance in Causeway. The Emmy-nominated actor continues to expand his career with a mix of prestige and blockbuster roles, proving his versatility across genres.

Dope Thief will debut with its first two episodes on March 14, 2025, with new episodes releasing weekly on Fridays through April 25. With its mix of action, suspense, and high-caliber performances, this crime thriller is set to be a must-watch.
