MGM+ just unveiled the first trailer for Hotel Cocaine along with details on new cast and characters. Danny Pino takes on his first series regular role since finishing up Mayans M.C., diving back into the world of illegal drugs after five seasons playing a cartel boss.
The eight-episode crime thriller also stars Michael Chiklis (Winning Time), Mark Feuerstein (Power), Yul Vazquez (Godfather of Harlem), Tania Watson (The Head), Corina Bradley (Star-Crossed Romance), and Laura Gordon (Late Night with the Devil).
“Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte (Pino), Cuban exile and general manager of the Mutiny Hotel, the glamorous epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene of the late ’70s and early ’80s. The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine; a glitzy nightclub, restaurant, and hotel frequented by Florida businessmen and politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians,” reads MGM+’s synopsis. “At the center of it all was Compte, who was doing his best to keep it all going and fulfill his own American Dream.”
The ’70s set drama was created by Chris Brancato (Godfather of Harlem, Narcos) who serves as executive producer and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Guillermo Navarro, Michael Panes, and Alfredo Barrios Jr. Navarro also directs the first episode.
Hotel Cocaine will premiere on MGM+ on June 16, 2024. New episodes stream on Sundays through August 4.
