Apple TV+ has officially announced Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver as the lead stars of its upcoming crime drama series, The Dealer. This high-stakes thriller is already generating excitement, promising a gritty narrative, award-winning talent, and Apple’s signature cinematic production values.

A Story of Power, Greed, and Crime

The Dealer follows the intertwined lives of a ruthless art dealer (Chastain) and a brilliant but morally conflicted detective (Driver) as they navigate the dangerous world of art smuggling, organized crime, and global corruption. Set against the backdrop of New York’s elite art circles, the series explores themes of morality, obsession, and betrayal.

Apple TV+ describes the series as a slow-burning crime drama that will blend psychological tension with visually arresting storytelling, a style that both Chastain and Driver are known to excel in.

A High-Profile Team

The series is being developed by Scott Z. Burns, known for his work on Contagion and The Report, with Apple Studios producing. Both Chastain and Driver will also serve as executive producers, signaling their deep involvement in the project’s creative direction.

Why It’s Generating Buzz

Chastain and Driver, both Oscar-nominated performers, are known for their intense and transformative roles. This marks their first time sharing the screen, making The Dealer one of the most anticipated projects on Apple TV+’s upcoming slate.

The series is expected to begin filming later this year, with a release slated for 2026. Early reactions from industry insiders hint that The Dealer could easily become Apple TV+’s next prestige hit, following in the footsteps of series like Severance and Slow Horses.
