AMC, AMC+, and Acorn TV announced today the premiere date for the highly-anticipated limited crime drama Monsieur Spade. Check out the trailer.
Monsieur Spade stars and is executive produced by Golden Globe®, SAG®, and BAFTA® Award winner Clive Owen (Closer, Children of Men, The Knick), who plays hard-boiled private detective Sam Spade, the iconic protagonist of American author Dashiell Hammett’s 1930 classic novel The Maltese Falcon.
The year is 1963, and legendary Detective Sam Spade (Owen) is enjoying his retirement in the South of France. In contrast to his days as a private eye in San Francisco, Spade’s life in Bozouls is peaceful and quiet — but the rumored return of his old adversary will change everything. Six beloved nuns have been brutally murdered at the local convent. As the town grieves, secrets emerge, and new leads are established. Spade learns that the murders are somehow connected to a mysterious child who is believed to possess great powers…
Monsieur Spade premieres in the US on Sunday, January 14, 2024, exclusively on AMC, AMC+, and Acorn TV.
Shot on-location in France, the six-episode crime drama features guest stars Emmy®, Golden Globe®, and SAG® Award winner Alfre Woodard (Salem’s Lot, The Book of Clarence) and Dean Winters (Lost Girls, John Wick), who play Virginia Dell and Father Matthew, respectively.
The ensemble cast includes up-and-comer Cara Bossom (Radioactive) as Teresa, Denis Ménochet (Inglorious Basterds) as Chief of Police Patrice Michaud, Louise Bourgoin (Interns) as Marguerite Devereaux, Chiara Mastroianni (On a Magical Night) as Gabrielle, Stanley Weber (Outlander) as Jean-Pierre Devereaux, Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game) as George Fitzsimmons, Jonathan Zaccaï (Downton Abbey: A New Era) as Philippe Saint Andre, and Rebecca Root (The Queen’s Gambit) as Cynthia Fitzsimmons.
