Monsieur Spade: New limited TV series

January is certainly shaping up for good TV viewing. I'm looking forward to Monsieur Spade, a limited series starring Clive Owen as the iconic Dashiell Hammett PI Sam Spade, once played by Humphrey Bogart. in this series, Spade is a retired ex-pat in the 1960s. Monsieur Spade has six episodes, each running  40-60 minutes. It premieres January 14, 2024 with new episodes streaming weekly on Sundays, at 9 pm ET/PT, on AMC, AMC+, and Acorn TV, until its finale on February 18, 2024.

Dashiell Hammett’s Sam Spade remains one of the most popular American sleuths of the 20th century. This famous private eye makes his first television appearance in AMC’s Monsieur Spade. Set in 1963, the plot follows the famous private detective during his retirement days in the tranquil French community of Bozouls. But the return of an old adversary and the murders of six nuns in the town spoils his serene life. 

Monsieur Spade is based on the detective created by Hammett and his novels. Monsieur Spade is created, written, and executive produced by Emmy-winning Scott Frank of The Queen’s Gambit fame and Tom Fontana from City on a Hill. Monsieur Spade was shot in France.
