Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Apple TV+ drops the first official trailer for its new Argo-esque historical thriller, The Big Cigar, which is based on a true story. The series will premiere on the platform on May 17. It follows the incredible story of Huey P. Newton , the founder of the Black Panther Party who once formed an elaborate plot to flee to Cuba while awaiting a murder trial in the United States.
The trailer sees Newton's pursuit of his revolutionary vision disrupted when he is declared an "enemy of the state," sparking a nationwide manhunt in America. He begins forming a plan to escape along with an unlikely ally: Hollywood. The trailer goes on to tease an action-packed and wild escape plan that involves one devoted producer and a fake movie production.
The Apple TV+ show will consist of six episodes, which will be released weekly through June 14 after the two-episode premiere. In addition to Moonlight star Holland, it also features SAG Award-winning actor Alessandro Nivola as Hollywood producer Bert Schneider. Nine Perfect Strangers star Tiffany Boone has signed on to portray Gwen Fontaine, who was Newton's girlfriend at the time they fled to Cuba. The cast also includes P.J.
