J.J. Abrams Returns With Max Original ’70s Crime Thriller Series ‘Duster’

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that J.J. Abrams is returning with a fresh project, this time collaborating with Max. Just a few days ago, Max unveiled the first official teaser trailer for Abrams’ upcoming ’70s crime thriller series, aptly titled Duster. The series, featuring Josh Holloway in the lead role, is set to premiere its eight gripping episodes this summer.

The show centers around Rachel Hilson’s character Nina, the first Black female FBI agent in 1972, who embarks on a journey to the Southwest where she meets Holloway’s character, a skilled getaway driver. She recruits Jim (Holloway’s character) for a daring mission aimed at dismantling a burgeoning crime organization. In this series, J.J. Abrams collaborates once more with ‘Lost’ actor Holloway, who shares the screen with Keith David, Sydney Elisabeth, Greg Grunberg, Camille Guaty, Asivak Koostachin, Adriana Aluna Martinez, and Benjamin Charles Watson. The series was initially unveiled in 2021.
