The twisted tale of AJ Pratt and his connection to drug kingpin Pablo Escobar is the focus of AMC Networks’ The Tailor of Sin City. The four-part documentary series is based on Pratt and Sal Manna’s The Tailor: How I Dressed Elvis, Escobar, the Mob…and Became the Las Vegas King of Cocaine.
The docuseries will premiere on SundanceTV, AMC+ and Sundance Now on September 12, 2024. New episodes will air on Thursdays.
“The Tailor of Sin City tells the story of a 1970s fashion icon turned drug kingpin caught between his loyalties to the Mob, the Colombian cartel, the FBI, and his 7 wives,” reads AMC Networks’ synopsis. “The four-part series is a star-studded, sequin-filled, stranger-than-fiction story of how a gifted small town tailor, AJ Pratt, built a drug and fashion empire in the heart of Sin City. Set in the glitzy nightlife of Las Vegas in the 1970s, the series follows AJ as he catapulted himself into the role of the Cocaine King of Las Vegas with help from both the Mob and the infamous Pablo Escobar, until it all came crashing down.
The Tailor of Sin City is the story of AJ Pratt’s rise and fall, told in his own words through archival first-person interviews and through those who knew AJ best, as they attempt to piece together what really happened on this wild, sometimes unbelievable, adventure that was almost lost to history.”
David Jung directed the documentary series and serves as an executive producer. Additional executive producers Ethan Goldman and Keayr Braxton, with Anchor Entertainment producing.
