An eight-episode crime drama, “Dope Thief” stars Academy Award-nominee Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta,” “Causeway,” “Bullet Train,”), who also serves as executive producer.

The series was created and executive produced by Academy Award-nominee Peter Craig (“The Batman” and “Top Gun: Maverick”), and it was executive produced by Academy Award-nominee Ridley Scott (“Gladiator,” “The Martian,” “Blade Runner”), who also directed the first episode.

Based on Dennis Tafoya’s eponymous novel, “Dope Thief” follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard.

The ensemble cast starring alongside Henry includes Wagner Moura (“Narcos,” “Civil War”), Marin Ireland (“The Umbrella Academy,” “Sneaky Pete”), Kate Mulgrew (“Star Trek: Prodigy,” “The Magnificent Meyersons,”), Nesta Cooper (“See”), Amir Arison (“The Blacklist”), and Golden Globe-winner Ving Rhames (“Mission: Impossible franchise”).
