Apple TV+ has released a sneak peek of “The Big Cigar,” the highly awaited limited drama series that follows the journey of Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton’s escape to Cuba. Set to premiere worldwide on May 17, the six-episode drama is produced by NAACP Image Award winner Janine Sherman Barrois, Jim Hecht, and Joshuah Bearman.
Renowned actor, producer, and director Don Cheadle will direct and executive produce the first two episodes, with new episodes available for streaming every Friday until June 14. André Holland takes on the role of Huey P. Newton and leads a talented ensemble cast including Alessandro Nivola, Tiffany Boone, P. J. Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Moses Ingram, Rebecca Dalton, Olli Haaskivi, Jordane Christie, and Glynn Turman.
“The Big Cigar” is an intriguing true story based on a groundbreaking Playboy Magazine article by executive producer Joshuah Bearman (“Argo”). The series follows Black Panther Party founder Newton’s journey from the FBI to Cuba with the help of Hollywood producer Bert Schneider. The complex plan turns into a chaotic adventure involving a failed fake movie production at every turn!
