There’s just something about the detective narrative that is alluring to viewers. Add to that the iconic Los Angeles landscape, and throw in the charming bastard that is Colin Farrell, and you’re onto a real winner with new Apple TV+ series Sugar.
To mark the April 5 launch of the new series, we had the pleasure in speaking to three of its leading stars in Farrell, Amy Ryan & Kirby, as they discuss their relationship with the noir genre, and talk about their characters and the creation of this show. Farrell even whets our appetite ahead of the release of his new Batman spin-off series Penguin, scheduled for later this year. We also spoke to those behind the lens, chatting to Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon, as they talk about their leading man. Watch all four interviews in their entirety, below.

Synopsis
Sugar is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture and television history: the private detective story. Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.
Sugar makes its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes airing on Friday, April 5, 2024, and episodes will debut weekly on Fridays through May 17, 2024.
