For over three decades, Daniel Gomez has navigated the gritty, often unpredictable world of private investigation. From tracking down leads to uncovering hidden truths, the Dallas-born detective has seen it all. Known to many as the Former Chief Detective on television and recognized by a global audience across social media, Gomez is now channeling his wealth of real-world experience into a brand-new arena: independent filmmaking.
On June 30, 2026, Gomez will release his debut independent film, Wong Place Wong Time. Produced under his own DG Productions banner, the film aims to revive the beloved buddy-cop action-comedy genre, blending high-stakes thrills with sharp humor and martial arts action.
A Nod to the Classics: The Plot of Wong Place Wong Time
Wong Place Wong Time centers on a familiar but compelling dynamic: two former partners pulled back into the fray. The narrative follows private investigator Detective Gomez, played by Gomez himself, and his old partner, Detective Tony Denton.
When a mysterious, decades-old cold case resurfaces, the duo is forced to reunite and piece together a puzzle that has remained unsolved for years. What begins as a search for basic answers quickly spirals into something much larger. The detectives soon find themselves standing face-to-face with a sprawling criminal empire and an elaborate revenge plot that has been simmering in the shadows.
The resulting showdown promises to be an action-packed ride. By merging classic buddy-cop banter with meticulously choreographed martial arts sequences, the film is designed to deliver both laughs and adrenaline in equal measure.
Blending Reality with Entertainment
For Gomez, the transition from real-life investigator to leading man is a natural progression. Growing up in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas, he developed a deep connection to his local community, a connection he maintains today as the head of the Gomez Detective Agency.
While the film leans into the heightened reality of action cinema, its roots are firmly planted in Gomez’s actual career. He views the project as a unique opportunity to share a stylized version of his world with his hometown and beyond. The movie serves as a creative outlet to showcase the essence of private investigation, mixing elements of pure fiction with the very real instincts and experiences he has honed over 30 years in the field. Ultimately, his goal is to provide top-tier entertainment while giving audiences a small, cinematic taste of the PI life.
The Dallas Premiere and Global Launch
Before the film reaches a global audience, Gomez is bringing the celebration home. DG Productions is hosting an exclusive Dallas-Fort Worth movie premiere on Monday, June 29, 2026, at 7:30 PM.
The event will take place at the iconic Angelika Film Center in Dallas, offering fans, local media, and community members the chance to experience a special advance screening. It represents a significant milestone for local independent cinema and a night to celebrate one of Oak Cliff’s own.
Following the hometown premiere, Wong Place Wong Time will make its worldwide streaming debut on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The film will be highly accessible, launching simultaneously across four major digital platforms:
• Amazon Prime Video
• Apple TV+
• Google Play
• YouTube
What’s Next for DG Productions?
The release of Wong Place Wong Time appears to be just the beginning of Gomez’s cinematic ambitions. The team at DG Productions has already confirmed that a sequel, Wong Place Wong Time: Part 2, is actively in development, promising fans that the adventures of Detectives Gomez and Denton are far from over.
Between running the Gomez Detective Agency, engaging with his massive following under the handle @cheatersdetective on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, and now building a film franchise, Daniel Gomez proves that a career dedicated to seeking the truth can seamlessly evolve into a passion for telling great stories.
