Yahoo Lifestyle Dope Thief Trailer: Brian Tyree Henry Is Hunted by a Dangerous Drug Ring — Watch
A pair of small-time crooks is about to mess with the wrong crew.
Based on Dennis Tafoya’s book of the same name, the eight-episode crime drama Dope Thief (which debuts on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes on Friday, March 14, followed by new episodes every Friday through April 25) follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents (Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry and Narcos’ Wagner Moura) who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside. But their small-time grift becomes a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern Seaboard.

In the trailer embedded below, we get our first glimpse of Ray and Manny’s shady operation, which includes them visiting “the wrong house” where they lift from a murderous drug operation. The friends’ actions then put everyone they love in danger, as the dealers track down the duo, who are now fugitives running for their lives. Insert explosions, car wrecks, gunfire and a whole lotta action-packed drama.
In addition to Henry and Moura, the ensemble cast includes Marin Ireland (Justified: City Primeval), Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is the New Black), Nesta Cooper (See), Amir Arison (The Blacklist), Dustin Nguyen (21 Jump Street) and Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction).
The series was created and executive produced by Peter Craig (Top Gun: Maverick). Ridley Scott directs the premiere and is also on board as an EP. Henry also executive-produces.
