New Trailer and Poster for Showtime's AMERICAN GIGOLO Sequel Series Starring Jon Bernthal
A second trailer has been released for the Showtime sequel series American Gigolo, starring Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, The Punisher). The series also stars Rosie O’Donnell, Wayne Brady, Gretchen Mol, Gabriel LaBelle, Lizzie Brocheré, Leland Orser, Alex Fernandez, and Mark Mahoney. The series was created by Ray Donovan writer/director/executive producer David Hollander.
The show is a sequel story to the 1980 film of the same name written and directed by Paul Schrader, and starring Richard Gere in the role of Julian Kaye, which is the role Bernthal has taken on. It's produced by Jon Bernthal, as well as Hollander, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, and KristieAnne Reed.
The synopsis reads:
Julian Kaye (Jon Bernthal), 15 years after being arrested for murder and struggling to find his footing in the modern-day Los Angeles sex industry, seeks the truth about the frame that sent him to prison all those years ago and also hoping to reconnect with his one true love, Michelle (Gretchen Mol).
This looks like a pretty interesting true crime-style series, and Bernthal is such a great actor. I look forward to checking it out. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch American Gigolo when it premieres on Showtime on September 9th.
