Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, known for their roles in 'The Bear', will make their Broadway debuts in the upcoming production of 'Dog Day Afternoon', which is set to open in spring 2026.

In this adaptation, Bernthal will take on the iconic role of Sonny Amato, originally portrayed by Al Pacino, while Moss-Bachrach will play Sal DeSilva, based on John Cazale's character.

Moss-Bachrach, recognized for his performances in 'The Punisher' and HBO's 'Girls', recently garnered two Emmy Awards for his work in 'The Bear'.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by two-time Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold, the play is set against the backdrop of a politically charged summer in 1972 New York City.

The narrative revolves around a chaotic bank robbery in Brooklyn that escalates into a hostage situation, highlighting themes of desperation and passion.

This story is based on a true crime incident involving a 1972 robbery by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile, which aimed to finance Wojtowicz's partner's gender-affirming surgery.

The original 1975 film adaptation of 'Dog Day Afternoon' was nominated for six Oscars and won for Best Original Screenplay, capturing national media attention during its time.

Produced by Warner Bros. Theater Ventures, specific dates and theater information for the Broadway debut have yet to be announced, but further details regarding ticket sales are expected soon.

While additional cast and creative team members remain undisclosed, the production team includes Mark Kaufman, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and Patrick Catullo.

Fans interested in attending the show can sign up for early access to pre-sale tickets through the official website.

Bernthal's upcoming projects include 'The Accountant 2' and Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey', while Moss-Bachrach will appear as The Thing in the Marvel film 'The Fantastic Four: The First Steps'.

Despite their extensive experience in television and film, this production marks the Broadway debuts for both Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach.
