Storyline:

The series follows Julian Kaye after his wrongful conviction release from 15 years in prison as he navigates his complicated relationships with his former lover Michelle (Gretchen Mol), his troubled mother, and the people who betrayed him. While Julian struggles to reconcile the escort he was in the past and the man he is today, Detective Sunday (Rosie O’Donnell) seeks the truth about the murder that sent Julian to prison all those years ago, unearthing a much larger conspiracy along the way.

About American Gigolo TV Series:

American Gigolo is an American neo-noir crime drama television series developed by David Hollander. It is based on the 1980 film of the same name written and directed by Paul Schrader. The series stars Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye, the protagonist of the original film, alongside Gretchen Mol, Lizzie Brocheré, Gabriel LaBelle, Leland Orser, and Rosie O’Donnell.

Principal photography began on July 12, 2021, in Los Angeles. On April 27, 2022, it was reported that production was shut down for four days due to Hollander’s dismissal and an actor being unavailable at the moment. On May 12, 2022, it was announced that production was shut down again for at least two weeks as David Bar Katz exited the series.
