Ansel Elgort (West Side Story by Steven Spielberg) plays the reporter opposite Japanese actor Ken Watanabe (police inspector Hiroto Katagiri), but also Rachel Keller (Fargo, Legion) and Ella Rumpf (Grave) .
First series for 10 years
The first three episodes of Tokyo Vice will be available from April 7 on the American platform HBO Max and a little later on Canal+. It had been ten years since the Luck series with Dustin Hoffman that Michael Mann had not been involved in a series project.
