Duster is an upcoming crime thriller television series created by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, set to premiere on Max in 2025. Set in 1972, the series follows the groundbreaking journey of the first Black female FBI agent as she ventures into the Southwest, enlisting a fearless getaway driver to help dismantle a rapidly expanding crime syndicate.
Starring Rachel Hilson and Josh Holloway, Duster immerses viewers in a rich, retro setting that enhances storytelling by removing modern conveniences such as cell phones and the internet, creating a more intricate and suspenseful narrative. The cast also features an impressive ensemble, including Keith David as Ezra, Sydney Elisabeth as Genesis, Greg Grunberg as Abbott, Camille Guaty as Izzy, Asivak Koostachin as Awan, Adriana Aluna Martinez as Luna, and Benjamin Charles Watson as Royce.
The series is described as a thrilling blend of high-stakes action, deep character development, and heartfelt storytelling. For Holloway, this project marks a reunion with Abrams, who co-created Lost, the hit ABC drama where Holloway became widely recognized for his role as James “Sawyer” Ford. Abrams, serving as co-creator, executive producer, and director of multiple episodes, brings his signature storytelling style to Duster.
Holloway recently appeared in Yellowstone and the USA Network action-drama Colony and joins a cast and creative team eager to deliver an intense, nostalgia-infused crime drama. With its compelling characters, high-energy action, and richly textured setting, Duster is shaping up to be a must-watch series for crime thrillers and retro storytelling fans.
