Smoke Episode 4: Release date news, time, streaming details and more

Smoke on Apple TV+ marks the reunion of creator Dennis Lehane and actor Taron Egerton following their successful collaboration on the critically acclaimed Black Bird. Like the former project, this one, too, is based on true events. It is inspired by a true story of serial arson, as covered in the Firebug podcast.

Consisting of nine episodes, Smoke Episode 4 all set to premiere on July 11, 2025. Till now, the second episode has revealed the biggest twist in the story, as Dave Gudsen, the arson investigator working alongside detective Michelle was revealed to be one of the arsonists.

With Smoke Episode 3 revealing Michelle suspecting Dave, let us now explore the available information about Episode 4, including its release and streaming details.

Smoke Episode 4 release date and streaming details

As mentioned previously, Smoke Episode 4 will drop on Apple TV+ on 12 am ET, on July 11, 2025. However, as reported by Decider, Apple TV+ often drops the episodes as early as on Thursdays at 9 pm ET, so it would be a good decision to check the streamer a day earlier.

Since the show is available exclusively on Apple TV+, viewers will need an active subscription to the platform to watch the episode as they drop. Apple TV+ offers a 7-day free trial period, after which the costs are:

Monthly subscription at $9.99
Yearly subscription at $99.99

It should also be noted here that upon buying new Apple devices, the streamer offers a free trial of three months after which a user can choose either the monthly or the yearly plan to continue viewing.

More about Smoke

While the series essentially tells the story of a chase where one person is working on both sides of the law, the show not only focuses on the plot of the culprit being caught but also provides significant insight into each characters’ mind and thus explaining their thought process behind their actions.

The two arsonists, Dave and Freddy, both have troubles in their personal lives and, as Dave himself said, arsonists set fires to assert a sense of power, as they are essentially powerless in their own lives.

Freddy is an older employee at the fast food chain, Coop’s, where he is neither respected nor acknowledged, He is unhappy about his dreadful and lonely life, and he targets people who are happy and sets fire to their homes.

Dave on the other hand, struggles to bond with his wife’s son Emmett, who has clearly not taken his parents’ divorce well and remains sad about his father. The frustration in his personal life and the fact that he cannot act out in front of his family pushes him to the edge and he commits arsons to feel a sense of power, which his personal life cannot give him.

With these complicated characters and their entangled lives, it now remains to be seen how long does it take for Michlle to figure out that her suspicions about Dave being one of the arsonists is right.

Smoke can be streamed on Apple TV+.
