Apple TV+ has revealed the trailer for Big Time, a new Apple Original Podcast launching 24 March, 2025.
Hosted by legendary actor and filmmaker Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire, Miracle Workers), the 14-episode series explores audacious crimes – fake kidnappings, elaborate robberies, even stolen sharks – with Buscemi introducing a new true story each week about a larger-than-life scam or scheme that almost worked.
Listen to the Big Time trailer.
Big Time is produced by Lee Eisenberg’s Piece of Work Entertainment and Campside Media, in association with Buscemi and Wren Arthur’s Olive Productions.
‘I think a lot of people, myself included, are fascinated by folks who look at the rules and think, “No, I’ve got a better idea”,’ said Buscemi, who hosts and produces the series. ‘Big Time isn’t just true crime – it’s a carnival of chaos, and I’m excited for listeners to tune in.
Apple TV+ subscribers can connect their subscription to Apple Podcasts to access the first two episodes on 24 March, with new episodes available one week early each week. Non-subscribers can listen to the first episode on 24 March, with a new episode released weekly until the finale on 16 June.
Big Time marks the third collaboration between Apple TV+ and Campside Media, following the Webby Award-winning Hooked and Run, Bambi, Run.
It joins a growing offering of Apple TV+ Apple Original Podcasts now streaming on Apple Podcasts, including the duPont-winning The Line, Operation: Tradebom, My Divo and Missed Fortune, as well as official companion podcasts for Apple TV+ series Foundation, For All Mankind, and the docuseries The Big Conn.
