Apple TV+ has dropped the first trailer for Smoke, the streamer’s upcoming crime drama series starring Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett.

Egerton also executive produces the series, and the project follows his prior collaboration with them, which was the 2022 limited series, Black Bird.

The series is created and written by Dennis Lehane and inspired by true events. Here’s the logline: 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.
