[Editor’s note: The following includes spoilers for “Sugar.”]
“Sugar” is a neo-noir television series set in modern-day Los Angeles, featuring private investigator John Sugar (Colin Farrell), who, in addition to being very good at his job, is also a huge movie buff. Sugar’s latest case, to find the missing granddaughter of legendary movie producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell), only sends him even further down the path of Hollywood lore.
Throughout the eight episodes of Season 1, Sugar’s journey to find Olivia reminds him of scenes from some of his favorite classic films, which are intercut into the series as if we are seeing little flashes of what is racing through Sugar’s mind.
“It was all done after the fact, so I had no idea until I saw it how many [and] which clips [they used],” Farrell told IndieWire, adding he was pleasantly surprised to see himself juxtaposed with some of his all-time favorite films, like “Sunset Boulevard” and “The Maltese Falcon.

It had been a minute since Anna Gunn felt the anticipation of an intriguing script hitting her inbox. Understandably, the incomparable writing she received for a combined decade on Deadwood and Breaking Bad set a high bar. But then the Colin Farrell-led Apple TV+ series Sugar came along.

He’s played a rejected friend, a heroic diver, and a Gotham crime boss of late – but with new Apple TV+ series Sugar, Colin Farrell is stepping into the shiny shoes and sharp suit of a private investigator, looking into the disappearance of a famous movie producer’s granddaughter in Los Angeles. Watch the action-packed trailer below:
Sugar is clearly no ordinary private investigator, doing much more than snapping pictures from afar, getting caught up right in the middle of the action. Sugar's voiceover gives a noir-ish feel to the opening of the trailer, but the visuals are bleached in the sun of California – though that's sure to give way to a darker underbelly as the plot unravels and secrets are unearthed.

“Another beautiful day in California. Out here, I’m one of the good guys. But good and bad can be in the eye of the beholder,” John Sugar’s voiceover plays over scenes demonstrating just how true that is in the trailer for the new Apple TV+ detective series. Sugar premieres on Friday, April 5, with the first two episodes, with the other six rolling out weekly. It’s a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story. John Sugar is an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell). As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets—some very recent, others long-buried. “They told me that you do one thing and...

Since he made his Hollywood debut in the 2000 Vietnam War drama "Tigerland," Colin Farrell's career has had some downs and some ups. All in all, though, he's largely outgrown his 2000s playboy reputation and is deservedly recognized as one of the best movie stars we've got. Farrell's got the eloquent soul of an artist, the way only an Irishman does.
After Farrell's earlier and fruitless efforts to be an action hero, he's learned to not let his occasional franchise gigs distract him from more personal work. Not all his work is on film either. In 2024, he'll be returning to television with two crime drama roles.
He plays Oz Cobblepot in the Max series "Penguin," spinning out of his supporting role in 2022's "The Batman." Before he returns onscreen as the Penguin, though, he's going to star in (and executive produce) "Sugar" for competing streaming service Apple TV+.

Pachinko and After Yang director Kogonada is ready to begin work on his next feature, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, and he’s bringing Academy Award nominees Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell along for the ride.
