Showtime has revealed the teaser trailer for the new American Gigolo TV series led by Jon Bernthal. Bernthal leads the cast as the character played by Richard Gere in the 1980 film of the same name. This new one, though, is set in the present day and has been updated for modern audiences.
Here’s a little bit more about it.
American Gigolo, a present-day reimagining of the iconic 1980 film, follows Julian Kaye (Jon Bernthal) after his wrongful conviction release from 15 years in prison as he navigates his complicated relationships with his former lover Michelle (Gretchen Mol), his troubled mother, and the people who betrayed him. While Julian struggles to reconcile the escort he was in the past and the man he is today, Detective Sunday (Rosie O’Donnell) seeks the truth about the murder that sent Julian to prison all those years ago, unearthing a much larger conspiracy along the way.
The series hits screens soon though it looks like no date has yet been set as yet.
Here’s the teaser.
