Jurnee Smollett to Star in Apple TV+’s ‘Firebug’ Opposite Taron Egerton
Jurnee Smollett ("Lovecraft Country") has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s “Firebug,” in which she'll star opposite Taron Egerton.
“Firebug,” loosely based on true events and inspired by a podcast of the same name, stars Egerton as an “enigmatic arson investigator.” The two characters pursue two serial arsonists. Apple points out that the series, set in the contemporary Pacific Northwest, is fictional — although it does take some of the events included in in truth.media’s “Firebug” podcast, which was hosted by Antholis, who executive produces for Crime Story Media, LLC. Earlier in her career, feature breakouts included “Eve’s Bayou” at the age of 11, as well as “The Great Debaters,” “Hands of Stone,” “Gridiron Gang” and “Beautiful Joe.”
