The Knockturnal had the pleasure of attending the premiere of Duster, Max’s compelling new original drama series created by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, held at Universal Studios. The series is set in the dangerous Southwest of the 1970s. The story follows Jim Ellis (Josh Holloway), an experienced getaway driver working for a rising criminal empire. But everything begins to change for Jim with the arrival of Nina Hayes (Rachel Hilson). Nina is a relentless federal agent and determined to prove herself, she sets her sights on bringing Jim Ellis and his accomplices down. Audiences will be taken on a ride through this eight-part series as the danger and suspense unfolds.
Universal Studios hosted an exclusive after party featuring themed cocktails titled “The Mad Raoul” and “Full Throttle Fashioned”. Guests enjoyed classic appetizers from the Southwest such as short rib, chicken sliders, and street corn. The appetizers were followed by desserts such as pineapple cake and peanut butter brownies. Guests mingled and danced along to music from the 1970s under colorful lighting, which elevated the atmosphere of the outdoor party. Finally, guests enjoyed an opportunity to take a photo with the 1970s red Dodge Charger from the show! The premiere was a wonderful experience for the guests and we look forward to seeing what happens next in Duster!
