\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Andr\u00e9 Holland<\/a> (Moonlight, The Knick) is the latest to join the all-star cast of Universal\u2019s Miami Vice \u201985, led by Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler. A character description for Holland is under wraps.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom screenwriter Dan Gilroy and director Joseph Kosinski, Miami Vice \u201985 explores the glamour and corruption of mid-1980s Miami in an all-new version of Miami Vice. The film is inspired by the pilot episode of the landmark 1984-90 NBC series, titled \u201cBrother\u2019s Keeper,\u201d which aired on September 16, 1984.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe previously announced cast includes Alden Ehrenreich<\/a>, Whitney Peak<\/a>, Camila Morrone<\/a>, John Leguizamo<\/a>, Danny Ramirez<\/a> and Walton Goggins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten by series creator Anthony Yerkovich, the two-hour series premiere of Miami Vice introduced the world to Vice cop Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and New York detective Ricardo Tubbs (Phillip Michael Thomas), who are brought together by destiny, though they did not really vibe at first. They eventually become partners, but first they investigate Colombian drug lord Calderone (Miguel Pi\u00f1ero), the show\u2019s main antagonist across Season 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the episode, it\u2019s revealed that Tubbs\u2019 beef with Calderone runs deep and is the reason why the former is in Miami. He wants revenge for his slain brother, who was taken down after the cartel leader put out a hit on his life. Despite first appearances, Crockett and Tubbs decide they want to work together, taking down bad guys in the Magic City and having some fun in between.<\/p>\n

\n\tAside from the Crockett and Tubbs intro, the episode is famously known for a driving scene where the duo is in Crockett\u2019s black Ferrari Daytona Spyder while listening to Phil Collins\u2019 song \u201cIn the Air Tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso notable, though not from this episode, Leguizamo portrayed Calderone\u2019s son Orlando twice in the series. Leguizamo will also star in Miami Vice \u201985, though it is as yet unknown if he will reprise the role of Orlando.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie will be filmed for Imax and is set for release on May 19, 2028. Production will begin this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tMiami Vice \u201985 is being produced by Dylan Clark\/Dylan Clark Productions (The Batman, The Penguin) and Kosinski (F1). Gilroy is writing the script, based on characters created by Yerkovich from the series executive produced by Yerkovich and Michael Mann. Eric Warren Singer wrote an earlier draft of the screenplay.<\/p>\n

\n\tHolland recently wrapped Amazon\u2019s forthcoming series Delphi. Previously, he was seen as the lead of Duke Johnson\u2019s The Actor, which hit theaters in March. In 2025, under his Harper Road Films banner, Holland produced and starred in\u00a0Love, Brooklyn, working alongside producer Steven Soderbergh. Holland also starred in Hulu\u2019s Exhibiting Forgiveness with Andra Day. He is perhaps best known for starring in Barry Jenkins \u2019 Oscar-winning Moonlight alongside Mahershala Ali.<\/p>\n
