Colin Farrell takes the lead in Sugar, an upcoming Apple TV+ series about a private detective searching for the missing granddaughter of a Hollywood magnate.
The trailer shows the series coming in April will be dark and violent.
Apple TV+ revives the private detective genre with Sugar
Private detective shows used to be a staple of TV. From Magnum, P.I. to The Rockford Files, they were on virtually every night of the week. In recent decades, however, they’ve mostly been replaced by police procedurals.
But Apple TV+ is bringing back the classic genre with Sugar. The official description says
“Academy Award-nominee Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.”
