This is everything we know about the release date of Apple TV Plus’ Firebug. It is an upcoming crime drama series based on the true events podcast of the same name. The plot follows a detective and an arson investigator as they investigate a series of fires in the Pacific Northwest. They quickly realize that a serial arsonist may be responsible for all of the occurrences. Here’s all we know about the Apple TV Plus Firebug release date and when it will be available.

Is There a Release Date for Apple TV Plus’ Firebug?

The Apple TV Plus Firebug release date could be in 2025. Apple Studios officially announced the series in December 2022. However, series creator Dennis Lehane discussed it in an interview with Indie Wire in July 2022. “I’m working on a project for Apple TV+ based on a podcast called “Firebug,” which was about the greatest serial arsonist in California’s history,” he stated.

According to reports, filming for Apple TV Plus’ Firebug began in Vancouver in March 2024. Firebug will most likely premiere in 2025, given how long a full-length series typically takes to produce and post-produce.

This date is an estimate based on the information available at the time of this writing. Jurnee Smollett stars as Michelle in Firebug, while John Leguizamo plays Esposito. Taron Egerton, Ntare Mwine, Rafe Spall, Greg Kinnear, and Hannah Emily Anderson round out the cast.
