The year is 1963, and the legendary Detective Sam Spade is enjoying his retirement in the South of France. By contrast to his days as a private eye in San Francisco, Spade’s life in Bozouls is peaceful and quiet. But the rumored return of his old adversary will change everything. Six beloved nuns have been brutally murdered at the local convent. As the town grieves, secrets emerge, and new leads are established. Spade learns that the murders are somehow connected to a mysterious child who is believed to possess great powers.
Spade returns to action, convinced that all these murders are linked, but is he still the same man he was in his prime? This six-part series will premiere on AMC+ on January 14, with episodes streaming weekly.
The Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winner, Clive Owen, will play Spade in the upcoming series Monsieur Spade. The series, created and executive produced by Scott Frank, takes place in 1963 when the famous detective, Sam Spade, has retired and is living a serene life in the French community of Bozouls.
Alfre Woodard and Dean Winters are set to guest star in the AMC limited series based on Dashiell Hammett’s Sam Spade character.
