“Dope Thief” Apple TV+ Series Adds Ridley Scott’s Touch

Apple TV+ has introduced its newest crime thriller series, “Dope Thief”, which follows two lifelong friends and delinquents in Philadelphia as they pose as DEA agents to steal cash. The show was created by Peter Craig and is based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Tafoya.

Produced in part by Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Gladiator), the series boasts a great premise, darkly comedic script, stylish filmmaking, and tense action set-pieces. Co-starring Marin Ireland and Ving Rhames, the pilot episode helmed by Scott has received rave reviews for its chemistry between leads Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura.

The show’s 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes speaks to its engaging storyline and performances, as praised by critics such as Empire, Globe and Mail, The Guardian, and TheWrap. With the first two episodes available now, viewers can stream “Dope Thief” exclusively on Apple TV+.
