Apple has handed out a straight-to-series order for a detective drama series which Robert Downey Jr. will executive produce and potentially play a supporting role in for the Apple TV+ service.
The series is based on a Toronto Life article titled “The Sting” which follows a frustrated Canadian detective who takes on a decades-old cold case in hopes of winning a confession and becoming a hero.
The case quickly spirals out of control when the undercover cop attempts an elaborate sting, adding playacting cops, taxpayer resources, and an unexpected friendship with the peculiar target.
Susan Downey, Adam Perlman and Amanda Burrell will also executive produce with Perlman (“Billions”) serving as writer.
