Apple TV+ has given a series order to the genre-bending series Sugar, created by ‘I Am Legend’ co-writer Mark Protosevich and featuring Colin Farrell in the lead role.  Plot details are being kept under wraps.

The new series is directed by Fernando Meirelles (City of God) and executive produced by Protosevich, Farrell, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and Scott Greenberg.  Sugar is Kinberg’s second collaboration with Apple TV+ following the sci-fi drama series Invasion. 

Farrell’s previous TV roles include Det. Ray Velcoro on True Detective and Henry Drax in The North Water, and he most recently starred as the Penguin in the film The Batman.
