Duster First Look and Premiere Date Revealed

The Max Original drama series Duster, from Emmy-winner J.J. Abrams and showrunner LaToya Morgan, debuts on Thursday, May 15 at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT on Max. The teaser and first-look photos are now available.

Produced in association with Warner Bros. Television, the eight-episode season will debut new episodes weekly through the finale on July 3.

Set in the 1970s Southwest, Duster explores the life of a gutsy getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate that goes from dangerous to wildly, stupidly dangerous when a tenacious young agent comes into town hellbent on taking his crime family down.

The cast includes Josh Holloway, Rachel Hilson, Keith David, Sydney Elisabeth, Greg Grunberg, Camille Guaty, Asivak Koostachin, Adriana Aluna Martinez, and Benjamin Charles Watson.

J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan wrote the first two episodes, which were directed by and executive produced by Steph Green.

The series is executive produced by J.J. Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich for Bad Robot and LaToya Morgan for TinkerToy Productions. It is produced in association with Warner Bros. Television.

“We are delighted to bring this high-voltage crime caper from the brilliant minds of J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan to the [Max] audience,” said Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content at Max, previously.

“This show has all the elements of a great Max Original, with propulsive storytelling, fantastic characters, and some truly bad-ass car chases.”

J.J. Abrams added: “LaToya and I are thrilled at the chance to bring the wild, wily, and wacky world of Duster to life, especially with this exceptional cast, crew, and network.”

“Duster is an amalgam of all my favorite things – high octane storytelling with deep characters and so much heart,” said LaToya Morgan. “It’s a dream project, and I’m supremely grateful to all the folks at Warner Bros. and [Max] for believing in this show. And I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in crime than J.J. to build this incredible world.”
