HBO Max has debuted the first Tokyo Vice trailer starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe. The Max Original crime drama series hails from Endeavor Content and WOWOW, Japan’s leading premium pay-TV broadcaster. Tokyo Vice premieres Thursday, April 7 with three episodes, followed by two episodes every Thursday leading up to the finale on April 28.

Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, the crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (played by Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.

Michael Mann hat die Serie produziert und bei der ersten Folge Regie geführt.
