UB Preview: ‘The Big Cigar’ | New Episode Friday

Apple TV+ is excited to share a sneak peek from the fourth episode of the limited drama series “The Big Cigar, starring André Holland as Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton.

A new episode premieres this Friday, May 31st on Apple TV+.

The six-episode drama is executive produced by NAACP Image Award winner Janine Sherman Barrois, Jim Hecht and Joshuah Bearman.

Based on the magazine article by Joshuah Bearman, who will also serve as executive producer, “The Big Cigar” is the incredible true story of Hollywood revolution meeting social revolution.

It’s a wild caper of Black Panther founder Huey Newton escaping from the FBI to Cuba with the assistance of famed producer Bert Schneider in an impossibly elaborate plan – involving a fake movie production — that goes wrong every way it possibly can. And somehow, it’s all true. Mostly.

In the new episode “What Are Friends For??” A chaotic confrontation leads to a change of plans. Huey and Bobby’s differences come to light.

Agent Clark pulls out all the stops.

André Holland leads a renowned ensemble cast including Alessandro Nivola, Tiffany Boone, PJ Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Moses Ingram, Rebecca Dalton, Olli Haaskivi, Jordane Christie, and Glynn Turman.
