MGM+ has released the official trailer and key art for the crime thriller Hotel Cocaine, which was executive produced by Chris Brancato (Godfather of Harlem, Narcos) and Guillermo Navarro (Pan’s Labyrinth).
The first episode of the series will premiere on June 16 on MGM+, and new episodes will air on Sundays until August 4.
Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte, a Cuban exile and general manager of The Mutiny Hotel, the glamorous epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine.
Businessmen, politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians all frequented the hotel and its glitzy nightclub and restaurant. At the center of it all was Compte, who did his best to keep it all going and fulfill his own American dream.
Over the course of the season, Roman walks the tightrope between the DEA, who have his daughter’s fate in their hands, and his older brother Nestor, Miami’s biggest supplier of cocaine. Together, the pair face ruthless rival Colombian cocaine suppliers as the brothers ensure their drug domination in Miami and keep their families safe.
Hotel Cocaine is a meditation on family, brotherhood, the American Dream, and the American nightmare, and what we will do to survive and protect the people we love.
The series stars Danny Pino as Roman Compte, Yul Vazquez as Nestor Cabal, Michael Chiklis as Agent Zulio, Mark Feuerstein as Burton Greenberg, Laura Gordon as Janice Nichols, Tania Watson as Marisol, and Corina Bradley as Valeria.
Chris Brancato created the series and serves as executive producer and showrunner.
Guillermo Navarro directed the pilot and executive produces the series alongside Brancato, with Michael Panes and Alfredo Barrios Jr. serving as executive producers.
Hotel Cocaine is produced by MGM+ Studios, in association with Stan in Australia, and internationally distributed by Amazon MGM Studios distribution.
