Smoke is a new crime drama on Apple TV+ that follows an arson investigator, played by Taron Egerton, who collaborates with detective Jurnee Smollett. As they track serial arsonists in the Pacific Northwest, complex dynamics arise due to Calderon's concerns about her ex-partner’s involvement. The series is inspired by the podcast Firebug and the actions of notorious arsonist John Leonard Orr, who was responsible for over 2,000 fires and had a career as an arson investigator. While based on true events, the series does not aim to represent Orr's life accurately.
Smoke follows an arson investigator who teams up with a new detective to track down serial arsonists terrorizing the Pacific Northwest. Their investigation is complicated by Detective Calderon’s fears about her ex-firefighter partner's potential connection to the fires.
The series adapts the true crime podcast Firebug, centered around John Leonard Orr, convicted of starting over 2,000 fires during a 30-year spree. Orr, who was also an arson investigator, wrote a novel eerily similar to his actual crimes.
