A great deal of money was poured into Quibi (to the tune of $1.75 billion), but several months after its launch, I think it's safe to say that the short-form streaming-service hasn't exactly turned into the success that founders Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman were hoping it would become. That said, there's still plenty of new content on the way, including The Fugitive, an action-thriller which stars Boyd Holbrook and Kiefer Sutherland. Quibi has dropped a new trailer for the upcoming series, which is full of plenty of man-on-the-run action.
Boyd Holbook stars as Mike Ferro, a blue-collar ex-con who is in the wrong place at the wrong time when a bomb rips through a subway station. Sutherland co-stars as Clay Bryce, a Counter Terrorism Bureau agent who is relentless in his pursuit of Mike. Desperate to clear his name, Ferro is forced on the run, and if that weren't bad enough, his picture is broadcast all across Los Angeles. As a fan of both the 1963 TV series and the Harrison Ford film of the same name, I'm down for more from The Fugitive, but I suppose that means I'm going to have to check out Quibi.
The official synopsis for The Fugitive:
Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) star in this edge-of-your-seat crime thriller from the creator of Most Dangerous Game and co-executive producer of Prison Break, in which an innocent man on the run, desperate to clear his name, is chased through Los Angeles by the cop who will not rest until he is captured.
The Fugitive will debut on Quibi on August 3, 2020.
