**Smoke: A Fresh Crime Series Debuting on Apple TV+**
Taron Egerton makes his comeback to Apple TV+ with the eagerly awaited crime series *Smoke*, which launches today. Following the acclaim of earlier Apple originals like *Black Bird* and *Tetris*, *Smoke* is stirring excitement with its intense storyline focused on catching serial arsonists. Critics have given the series a warm reception, suggesting it could become yet another success for the streaming service.
*Smoke* is available solely on Apple TV+, with fresh episodes arriving every Friday until the season conclusion on August 15. Audiences can kick off with a two-episode premiere, with a total of nine episodes on the agenda for the season.
The series is crafted by Dennis Lehane, recognized for his contributions to *Black Bird*, which garnered honors including an Emmy for actor Paul Walter Hauser. Lehane’s collaboration with Apple Studios has brought this new endeavor to life, and initial responses imply that *Smoke* will sustain his successful trajectory.
Drawing from the narrative podcast *Firebug*, *Smoke* features Taron Egerton as Dave Gudsen and Jurnee Smollett as Detective Michell Calderon. Together, they set out to capture two serial arsonists causing chaos in the Pacific Northwest. However, as the plot progresses, it becomes evident that things are not exactly as they seem.
To view *Smoke*, audiences must have an Apple TV+ membership. New subscribers can utilize a seven-day free trial. The Apple TV app is compatible with various devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TV set-top boxes, Android phones, gaming consoles, and smart TVs. Furthermore, Apple TV+ can be subscribed to via Amazon Prime Channels or watched in a web browser.
As *Smoke* is released weekly, viewers can also check out other new titles on Apple TV+, like Jason Momoa’s *Chief of War* and the return of the sci-fi series *Foundation* for its third season.
