Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Colin Farrell's upcoming Apple TV+ show Sugar could revitalize one of the oldest trends in the history of film that's all but been forgotten. The first images of Sugar showed that Farrell will star as the titular character, John Sugar. He'll be tasked with finding the missing granddaughter of a famous Hollywood producer, but the mystery promises to be much deeper and more intricate than it seems.
Apple TV+'s Sugar Is Reviving The Private Investigator Action Subgenre Sugar is a mystery show, but it also fits into a smaller subgenre: a private investigator action story. This subgenre has been a staple of Hollywood since the very beginning, but it has seen a decline in recent years. Some of the most prominent examples of the genre in recent memory, like The Nice Guys, haven't enjoyed the commercial success it was once known for.
One of the reasons Sugar seems primed for success is because Colin Farrell is bringing his star power to the project. Farrell's coming off prominent roles in successful projects like The Batman and The Banshees of Inisherin, and their success could carry over to Sugar. Apple TV+ also has a track record of making high quality shows, which only increases the excitement further.
During the decline of PI stories, other subgenres of action, such as the spy thriller, the buddy cop film, and stories about assassins, came to the forefront.
