The first trailer has been released for Duster. Duster is an crime series produced by television and film legend J.J. Abrams. The show's plot tells the story of a getaway driver in the Southwestern United States whose work becomes increasingly dangerous. It features Lost actor and former Abrams collaborator Josh Holloway in a key role. In addition to Holloway, the Duster cast includes Sydney Elisabeth, Reavis Dorsey, David Kallaway, Mikaela Hoover, Jonathan Dixon, and Jasper Keen.

Now, Max has released the trailer for Duster. The trailer begins with Holloway's character having an unexpected meetup with someone in a parking lot. Some of the glamorous side of the character's life is revealed before the scene transitions when a character asks "how do you feel about violence?". The trailer then cuts to a montage of fights the lead gets into. The protagonist's life shortly becomes a lot more complicated when an FBI agent he meets wants him to rat out one of his key clients. The trailer's final frame confirms Duster is set for release on May 15.

What This Trailer Means For Duster

Sex & Violence Are Key Elements Of The Series

Between the soundtrack and the general style, the Duster trailer leans heavily into its 1970s setting. Borrowing partially from the crime drama movies of this period, the show seems to feature stylized action. With shows like The Penguin, which applies a classic prestige television gangster format into a supervillain universe, incredibly popular at the moment, this format could serve Duster well in of audience appeal.

Based on this teaser, it is also clear that the show will be ripe with sex and violence. One moment from the trailer shows Holloway's character in bed with a woman, while another shows him taking explicit photos of a couple in the act. These moments are intercut with sequences of violence enacted by the lead character as he gets into bar fights and chase scenes. If these are the kinds of scenes included in just the trailer, Duster as a whole is sure to be replete with such elements.

Our Take On The Duster Trailer

Seeing Josh Holloway As A Lead Is Exciting

Sawyer was one of the most interesting characters on Lost, and, as a smooth-talking man with a tough personal life, Holloway's Duster character does not seem entirely dissimilar from this role. While the actor was in 10 episodes of Yellowstone in 2020 and 2021, it has been four years since Holloway has been seen on screen, and even longer since he has had a lead role. I think his iconic Lost character alone is evidence enough of Holloway's great acting potential, building my excitement for Duster.
