They Cloned Tyrone is set to be released on Netflix later this summer and also stars Teyonah Parris. The streamer describes the film as a “series of eerie events that thrusts an unlikely trio onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy in this pulpy mystery caper.”
Juel Taylor makes his directorial debut in the series. He explained how infusing comedy and mystery has been a goal for him. “It came from two places. First, I’ve always wanted to do something in the mystery space,” Taylor explained in a statement per Vibe. “I love mystery movies and genre blends, and I wanted to do something with detectives who weren’t really the most suited to detecting. I had this joke in my mind for a while, like ‘an entrepreneur, a pro, and a hustler walk into a bar and they end up solving a mystery.’ I had this juxtaposition of characters that I wanted, but I didn’t necessarily have anything more than a tone, a vibe.”
