Taron Egerton Is an Arson Investigator with PTSD in ‘Smoke' Trailer
Where there's 'Smoke,' there's fire. Taron Egerton reunites with his 'Black Bird' creator Dennis Lehane for another Apple TV+ series, this time about an arson investigator who is haunted by the ashes of past cases. The nine-episode crime drama 'Smoke' is inspired by true events as captured in acclaimed 'Firebug' podcast, hosted by Kary Antholis. The official synopsis for the series reads: ''Smoke' follows arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Egerton) who begrudgingly teams up with police detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) as their race to stop two arsonists ignites a twisted game of secrets and suspicions.'

'Smoke' is created by Lehane, who also serves as writer and executive producer. Egerton executive produces alongside Richard Plepler on behalf of EDEN Productions and Bradley Thomas and Dan Friedkin through Imperative Entertainment, as well as Kari Skogland, Joe Chappelle, and Jane Bartelme. 'Firebug' host Antholis executive produces for Crime Story Media, LLC. Marc Smerling also serves as executive producer for Truth Podcasting Corp. Series directors include Skogland, Chappelle, and Jim McKay. Egerton previously led Lehane's serial killer drama 'Black Bird,' which also was an Apple TV+ series. Egerton told IndieWire that filming the tense show, which co-starred Paul Walter Hauser, was an emotional experience. 'I was in New Orleans for six and a half, seven moments. I didn't see my family. I had just been through a breakup,' he said. 'I was ready to throw myself into this creative experience, and when it was done it was almost like the illusion shattered and my own life came rushing through the cracks again. So I didn't really have much of a choice. … The challenge of the role is he's such a fucking insufferable pig in the first episode. Can I keep him with me for this long?' 'Smoke' premieres on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, June 27, followed by new episodes every Friday through August 15. Check out the trailer below.
