Smoke Episode 9: Release date news, time, cast details, streaming details, and more 

Smoke is the kind of show that starts like a straightforward crime drama but quickly turns into a layered and slow burn thriller you can’t look away from. Created by Dennis Lehane and inspired by the true-crime podcast, Firebug, the Apple TV+ miniseries follows Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton), a firefighter turned arson investigator, and Detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) as they hunt down two serial arsonists in the Pacific Northwest.

The flames aren’t just in the fires. They’re in the suspicion, secrets, and uneasy trust between the two leads. It is loosely based on the real-life case of John Leonard Orr, a fire investigator who may have been one of the most dangerous arsonists of the 20th century.

Smoke blends fact, fiction, and psychological tension into something that’s as much about what burns inside people as the fires they set. It is smart, gripping, and the kind of story that makes you want to click on the next episode as soon as the current one ends.

Smoke has been keeping us hooked all summer, and now it’s time for the big one, that is, the season finale. After weeks of chasing clues, dousing suspicions, and trying to figure out who’s really behind those devastating fires, Episode 9 is ready to turn up the heat.

Smoke: Episode 9 - What to expect

Titled Mirror, Mirror, the finale promises all the drama, danger, and emotional moments we have been waiting for. This is the last chance for Calderone and Gudsen to put the pieces together before everything goes up in flames.

If the past episodes are anything to go by, Mirror, Mirror is going to be an explosive conclusion. The official synopsis teases that Calderone will be forced to call in a big favor, and Gudsen will struggle to keep control as a massive fire pushes everything and everyone to their breaking point.

You may expect the kind of twists Dennis Lehane loves to throw in. They are the ones that make you question everything you thought you knew. And since Smoke isn’t afraid to play with shades of grey, don’t be surprised if not every thread gets tied up neatly. After all, some fires just keep smoldering.
