Dope Thief Episode 8, titled "Innocent People," is scheduled to premiere on Friday, April 25, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+. The show follows two close friends—Ray, played by Brian Tyree Henry, and Manny, played by Wagner Moura, who have a risky plan. They pretend to be DEA agents and rob drug dealers. What starts as a quick money-making scheme spirals out of control when they accidentally encounter a big drug cartel.

In the previous episode, they were shown being interrogated by the DEA, who then decide to pose Ray as a bigger fish to attract the cartel people who are chasing them. Episode 7 ended on a sad note with the death of Manny; therefore, episode 8 will be a major turning point for Ray, deciding on his next move.

New episodes are typically available at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) for US audiences, but they can also access the show the previous night, depending on the time zone.

What to expect from the season finale of Dope Thief?

The previous episode brought shocking news for Ray as his beloved friend Manny is no more. Manny's death is still mysterious- was it because of the overdose of drugs, or was it a setup by the cartel? Ray has yet to decide his next move to save his life from the cartel people as well as the prison. Theresa, who has emerged as a big supporter of Ray, might have a crucial role as she is cunning, and her moves till now have kept the cartel people from closing in on Ray.

Mina, the seasoned DEA agent who is undercover within the drug operation, will continue to have a central role as she is the only one who knows the truth, rather than setting Ray as bait to catch the cartel people.

The next episode, the finale, is going to bring major storylines to an end and set the foundation for the next season, if any, in Dope Thief.
