‘Sugar’ EP Says Other Networks Were “Scared” Of Big Episode 6 Twist Before Apple Bought Colin Farrell Series

In the latest episode of Apple TV+'s series "Sugar," a major twist reveals that the protagonist, private investigator John Sugar (played by Colin Farrell), is actually an alien. This reveal was hinted at earlier in the season and marks a significant genre-blending moment that other networks initially found too risky. Executive producer Simon Kinberg expressed that many were hesitant about the sci-fi twist in an otherwise detective-driven show, leading them to pass on the project before Apple picked it up.
