Plot Synopsis

Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished final book of the same name, THE LAST TYCOON is a one-hour drama series that follows Hollywood's Golden Boy, Monroe Stahr, as he battles father figure and boss, Pat Brady, for the soul of their studio. In a world darkened by the Great Depression and the growing international influence of Hitler's Germany, the series illuminates the passions, violence, and towering ambition of 1930s Hollywood. Monroe's personal life heats up as he pursues the beautiful Kathleen, who pushes against the idea of being a replacement for Minna. Pat Brady's pet project has a devastating debut, forcing him to accept Monroe's help. Celia gets cozy in her role as producer, so Hackett takes it upon himself to give her an education. Amazon released the nine-episode first season on Friday, July 28, 2017 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT -- more than one year after the pilot was originally released on Thursday, June 16, 2016.
