Trailer For Clive Owen's AMC Noir Mystery Thriller Series MONSIEUR SPADE

AMC Networks has released the first teaser trailer for a new noir mystery thriller series titled Monsieur Spade, which stars Clive Owen. The series 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 stars as Spade and he’s joined by Cara Bossom, Denis Ménochet, Louise Bourgoin, Chiara Mastroianni, Rebecca Root, 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. It's also co-created and written by Tom Fontana.

Monsieur Spade will be released on AMC+ starting in early 2024.
