Wagner Moura’s latest role is the real steal…
Apple TV+ has released a new trailer for Dope Thief, starring the 48-year-old Golden Globe-nominated Brazilian actor and Brian Tyree Henry as two long-time friends who pose as feds to “rip off drug dealers”.
The duo end up robbing the wrong country house, unearthing the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard.
“These guys are going to come after us, man,” a distraught Manny Cespedes (Moura) tells Henry’s Ray Driscoll in the trailer. “These people are gonna hurt anybody that we care about,” says Henry’s Ray.
Based on Dennis Tafoya’s book of the same name, Dope Thief hails from Peter Craig and Ridley Scott.
In addition to Henry and Moura, the cast includes Marin Ireland, Kate Mulgrew, Nesta Cooper, Amir Arison and Ving Rhames.
Dope Thief hails from Apple Studios and is being produced by Scott Free Production.
Craig wrote all eight episodes, and will helm one, in his directorial debut.
It will premiere with the first two episodes on Friday, March 14, 2025 followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25 on Apple TV+.
