Apple TV+ has released a blazing new trailer for its new crime drama, Smoke, starring Emmy Award nominee Taron Egerton. It is set to debut on the streamer on June 27.
Best known for his roles in Robin Hood, Rocketman, Tetris, and the Kingsman film series, Smoke serves as Egerton’s latest project following Netflix’s Carry-On in 2024. The forthcoming series also marks the actor’s latest project with Apple TV+ after he starred as James Keene in the true crime drama Black Bird back in 2022.
“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,” the plot description reads.
What happens in the Smoke trailer?
Billed as a “gripping crime drama,” the newly released trailer for Smoke introduces Egerton’s Dave Gudsen, an arson investigator unraveling a series of destructive fires. Working alongside Jurnee Smollett’s Detective Michell Calderon, who Dave initially doubts due to her lack of experience in arson cases, the two struggle to find significant leads concerning the two serial arsonists. They now must work against the clock before the unfortunate event claims more lives.
“Serial arsonists tend to be powerless in their own lives. They want other people to know what that feels like,” Egerton’s Dave said in the trailer.

Smoke is inspired by truth.media’s Firebug podcast, which was hosted by Kary Antholis. Egerton also serves as one of the show’s executive producers. It is created and written by Black Bird creator Dennis Lehane. The rest of the cast includes Rafe Spall, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Anna Chlumsky, Adina Porter, Greg Kinnear, and John Leguizamo.
The first two episodes of Smoke will arrive on Apple TV+ on June 27, with new episodes arriving Fridays through August 15.
