EXCLUSIVE: Long-in-the-works docuseries Boston George, about drug trafficker and smuggler George Jacob Jung, is set to premiere on streaming service Fandor on July 22.The five-part series features a decent chunk of interviews with Johnny Depp, who portrayed the late Jung in 2001 film Blow.

This will be the first new film or TV content featuring Depp to be released since his lengthy U.S trial against former wife Amber Heard.Described by Depp as “one of my favorite people instantly” and as “a very charming outlaw”, Boston George explores Jung’s life of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and lawbreaking.

Acquaintances from all walks of life reunite with Jung — who filmed the series before he passed away last year — to tell the narrative, including Depp, author Bruce Porter, partner Ronda Clay Spinello, friend Waino “Tuna” Tuominen (portrayed by Ethan Suplee in Blow) and former undercover DEA agent Tom Tinnerington and DEA Special Agent Mike McManus, responsible for Jung’s bust.Above is a new trailer for the series and below is a behind-the-scenes clip in which Depp gifts Jung a cell phone so they can stay in touch (joking that he’ll send Jung “the weirdest photographs”).Following its premiere, Fandor plans to drop one episode per week each Friday.

Cinedigm will make each episode available on TVOD the day after it premieres.Jung, nicknamed Boston George and El Americano, was a major figure in the cocaine trade in the U.S.
