Colin Farrell embodies film noir detective in new Apple TV+ series ‘Sugar’

Colin Farrell stars as a private investigator in “Sugar,” debuting globally on Friday, April 5, 2024 on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ in March unveiled the trailer for its new Colin Farrell-led drama “Sugar,” which will make its global debut with the first two episodes of its eight episode season on Friday, April 5, 2024 on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday.
Starring and executive produced by Farrell, “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 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.

Film noir is back, with a lot of color, starring Colin Farrell in “Sugar,” a new Apple+ series set in contemporary Los Angeles.
“I do love film noir, and I have had a love for it that pre-dates this show, so there were certain tropes that I was well aware of,” Farrell said in an interview.
The noir genre began with crime films in the 1940s and 1950s, featuring sharp shadows, pessimistic characters, smoke and rainy streets in black and white… The series, which premieres on Friday, juxtaposes the colorful landscapes of Los Angeles with scenes that look like vintage Hollywood noir…
Farrell fondly recalled some nights when they were shooting car footage: Cinematographer Cesar Charlone would get in the passenger seat and Farrell would drive them to downtown Los Angeles for 40 minutes.
“There were moments where I was kind of honest-to-God pinching myself, going, ‘this is just unbelievable’ and ‘aren’t we so lucky?'” Farrell said.
