'Monsieur Spade': Clive Owen Reimagines Legendary Detective in AMC Series

Set in the South of France during the 1950s and 60s, the series pulls a retired Sam Spade back into sleuthing after a brutal murder disrupts his quiet life.

AMC's new series 'Monsieur Spade' features Clive Owen as the legendary private detective Sam Spade, originally created by Dashiell Hammett and made famous by Humphrey Bogart in the 1941 classic 'The Maltese Falcon'.
The series, set in the 1950s and 60s, reimagines Spade's life in the South of France where he is pulled back into sleuthing following a brutal murder in his small town.
Scott Frank and Tom Fontana, known for their work on 'The Queen’s Gambit' and 'Oz' respectively, are the creators of the series.
Clive Owen, who also serves as an executive producer, prepared extensively for the role, studying Bogart's performances and immersing himself in the genre.
The series premieres on AMC, AMC+ and Acorn TV on January 14, with subsequent episodes airing weekly on Sundays.
