One of the most anticipated crime dramas of the summer is Smoke, coming from the creative team behind past hit Black Bird, and you'll be able to watch it from Friday, June 27 if you know how.

Smoke is about a detective who's paired up with a seasoned arson investigator in order to get to the bottom of a string of arson attacks plaguing the Pacific Northwest. However this investigator has some dark secrets relating to the case and he desperately wants to avoid being figured out.
Kingsmen star Taron Egerton plays the investigator, re-teaming up with Black Bird creator Dennis Lehane after that beloved show. He's playing against Friday Night Lights' Jurnee Smollett as the police detective and the cast also includes John Leguizamo, Rafe Spall and Greg Kinnear.
If you're keen for a new crime drama to watch, here's how to see Smoke when it comes out.

You can subscribe to Apple TV Plus for $9.99 / £8.99 per month (though there are ways to save money, as you can read about below). Make sure you don't accidentally sign up for the Apple TV Plus MLS plan as that's just for soccer streams.
