Sugar: Colin Farrell series for Apple TV+ – trailer

Farrell stars as an American private investigator trying to track down the missing granddaughter of a Hollywood producer.

Apple TV+ has unveiled its trailer for its new Colin Farrell-led drama Sugar, which premieres in April.  

Starring and executive produced by Farrell, Sugar, says Apple, is ‘a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story.

‘Academy Award-nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long buried.’

The eight-episode series also stars Amy Ryan (The Wire), James Cromwell (Succession), Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Dennis Boutsikaris (Better Call Saul), Nate Corddry (Mindhunter), Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling), and Alex Hernandez (Invasion). 

Sugar premieres on 5 April on Apple TV+.
