Showtime shared photos and a premiere date for the new series in a press release Monday.

Heist 88 is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Bassett Vance Productions and Gunpowder & Sky. The show is inspired by "one of the largest bank robberies in U.S. history."

Courtney B. Vance (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story) plays Jeremy Horne, "a criminal mastermind with an innate ability to convince anyone to do just about anything."

Heist 88 will see Horne (Vance) decide to pull one last job before going to prison. He recruits four young bank employees to steal close to $80 million in a time before widespread computerization and cybersecurity.

Heist 88 is written by Dwayne Johnson-Cochran, with Menhaj Huda as director. Vance, Johnson-Cochran, Angela Bassett, Lynnette Ramirez, Van Toffler and Barry Barclay serve as executive producers.

Heist 88 will premiere Sept. 29 on Paramount+ and Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. EDT on Showtime.
