Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 1

The brilliant Scott Frank returns to the realm of television four years hence after his smashing success with Netflix’s The Queen Gambit. Frank and co-creator Tom Fontana are the showrunners for Season 1 of Monsieur Spade, AMC’s new noir offering. Frank has taken the mantle of directing as well as co-writing all the episodes in the limited series. Clive Owen headlines AMC’s ambitious project, which will evolve around the character of Detective Sam Spade from Dashiell Hammett‘s novel The Maltese Falcon.

AMC has partnered up with the French Groupe Canal+ to co-produce the series. 

We are excited to bring you coverage of all the episodes in Season 1 with episodic recaps and preview articles for each new episode, assisting you to keep up with the unfolding drama. 

Here is everything you need to know about Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 1, including its release date, time, and where you can watch this.

Monsieur Spade will be available to watch on the AMC channel for our cable network viewers in the US and Canada. The episodes will also be available to stream simultaneously on its streaming platform, AMC+. In addition to the host network, Acorn TV will also host the new episodes in these geographies.
