The Big Cigar ended on June 14, 2024, on Apple TV. The series concluded after its first season, which aired from May 17 to June 14, 2024. There are no upcoming episodes scheduled for this show.

The show was a drama and crime series that told the extraordinary, hilarious, almost-too-good-to-be-true story of how Newton relied on his best friend, Bert Schneider, the Hollywood producer behind Easy Rider, to elude a nationwide manhunt and escape to Cuba while being pursued into exile by the FBI.

The cast included Andre Holland as Huey P. Newton, Alessandro Nivola as Bert Schneider, Tiffany Boone as Gwen Fontaine, P.J. Byrne as Steve Blauner, and Marc Menchaca as Agent Sydney Clark. The series had a rating of 5.8 on TVMaze and each episode ran approximately 40 minutes.
