On May 17, the limited series The Big Cigar will debut online on Apple TV+.
Based on the monumental, eponymous magazine article by Joshuah Bearman this series is the incredible true story of Hollywood revolution meeting social revolution: it’s a wild caper of Black Panther founder Huey P. Newton (Andre Holland), who escapes from the FBI to Cuba with the assistance of famed producer Bert Schneider (Alessandro Nivola) in an impossibly elaborate plan – involving a fake movie production – that goes wrong every way it possibly can. And somehow, it’s all true.
The series includes Tiffany Boone, Rebecca Dalton and P.J. Byrne (among others).
Here is a trailer for The Big Cigar:
