Amir Arison is feeling nostalgic as his Apple TV+ series “Dope Thief” approaches its season finale. The actor took to Instagram to share special behind-the-scenes photos from both his first day on the job and the upcoming final episode.
From First Day To Finale
The former “Blacklist” star posted two images showing his journey on the series, writing: “📸 from 1st day in the job… & now Season Finalé airs Friday! #DopeThief @appletv With these amazing two: @marinireland & #WillPullen.” The photos capture Arison alongside his co-stars Marin Ireland and Will Pullen, showcasing their camaraderie both at the beginning of production and now as they prepare for the finale.
In the first image, the trio appears to be on set during their initial days of filming, while the second shows them in what appears to be a more recent behind-the-scenes moment. The post highlights not only the professional relationship between the castmates but also the journey they’ve taken throughout the production of “Dope Thief.”
The Apple TV+ Series
“Dope Thief,” which streams exclusively on Apple TV+, has been building toward its conclusion, with the finale set to air this Friday. The series, based on Dennis Tafoya’s novel, follows two blue-collar best friends and petty criminals who impersonate DEA agents to rob a narcotics stash house. Their actions lead to unexpected consequences as they find themselves increasingly entangled with real-life crime organizations.
Arison has been promoting the series throughout its run. In early April, he posted: “Who’s watching #DopeThief @appletv? Episode 5 dropped today ✅,” showing his enthusiasm for the project and encouraging followers to tune in.
