Full Trailer For Clive Owen's Upcoming Noir Detective Series MONSIEUR SPADE
We’ve got a full trailer to share with you today for AMC Networks’ upcoming noir mystery thriller series Monsieur Spade, which stars Clive Owen. Owen is such a great actor and the type of character he plays in this series is perfect for him. I love a good detective story, and it looks like this one is going to deliver the goods.
The show is set in 1963 and the story centers around detective Sam Spade, who is enjoying retirement in the south of France until six nuns are murdered. The character was created by Dashiell Hammett, the same author who wrote the famous stories The Glass Key, The Thin Man, Red Harvest, and The Maltese Falcon.
The description for the series reads: “The year is 1963, and the legendary Detective Sam Spade is enjoying his retirement in the South of France. By 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.”
Owen is joined in the series by Cara Bossom, Denis Ménochet, Louise Bourgoin, Chiara Mastroianni, Rebecca Root, and Stanley Weber, with Matthew Beard and Jonathan Zaccaï.
Monsieur Spade is co-created, written and executive produced by Scott Frank (A Walk Among the Tombstones, Hoke, Godless, The Queen's Gambit), who is also directing the episodes. Those are all freakin’ great projects, which means that this one is going to be a winner as well. It's also co-created and written by Tom Fontana.
Monsieur Spade will be released on AMC+ on January 14, 2024.
