Taron Egerton to star in arsonist crime series 'Firebug'
The literary basis for the new project will be the podcast of the same name about the crimes committed.
Apple TV+ launches Firebug, a crime-drama series starring Taron Egerton. The creator of the project will be Dennis Lehane.
“The plot follows a dysfunctional detective and a mysterious arson investigator (Egerton) as they combine two similar cases into one investigation. Despite the presence of fiction, the creators of the TV show will draw inspiration from the events that took place in reality, described in the Truth Media "Firebug" podcast.
This will be Edgerton and Lehane's second project for Apple TV+. Previously, they worked on the Black Bird series and managed to release the first season.
