Colin Farrell to star in Apple TV+'s Sugar from Thor and I Am Legend screenwriter

Deadline

Apple beat Netflix in a heated auction for Mark Protosevich's Sugar, a Los Angeles-set contemporary take on the private detective story with a plot that is being kept under wraps. (HBO also has a show called Sugar in the works, about sugar daddies and sugar babies.) Executive producers include Simon Kinberg, whose Invasion was recently renewed at Apple TV+. Farrell is starring in Sugar as he is also on board to lead HBO Max's limited series on The Batman's Penguin character.
