Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for its upcoming crime drama “Smoke,” reuniting the creative team behind Apple TV+’s acclaimed hit limited drama “Black Bird,” and starring and executive produced by Emmy Award nominee Taron Egerton. “Smoke” will make its global debut on Apple TV+ on June 27, 2025 with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Friday through August 15, 2025.

Created and written by Dennis Lehane and inspired by true events, “Smoke” follows an arson investigator who begrudgingly teams up with a police detective as their race to stop two arsonists ignites a twisted game of secrets and suspicions.

Thom Yorke wrote and performed the “Smoke” main title, available on Apple Music and all streaming platforms now. 

Hailing from Apple Studios, “Smoke” was created by Lehane, who also serves as writer and executive producer. Egerton executive produces alongside Richard Plepler on behalf of EDEN Productions, Bradley Thomas and Dan Friedkin through Imperative Entertainment, and Kari Skogland, Joe Chappelle and Jane Bartelme. The fictional series is inspired by truth.media’s acclaimed “Firebug” podcast, which was hosted by the Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning Kary Antholis, who executive produces for Crime Story Media, LLC. Emmy Award winner Marc Smerling serves as executive producer for Truth Podcasting Corp. Series directors include Skogland, Chappelle and Jim McKay.
