Apple TV has announced the global premiere date for Lady in the Lake, a new drama limited series starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram.
Based on Lady in the Lake, the 2019 novel by New York Times best-selling author Laura Lippman, the new Apple Original drama Lady in the Lake is a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.
The drama stars Academy Award® winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Jackie, Closer) and Emmy® Award nominee Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Obi-Wan Kenobi) in the lead roles.
When the disappearance of a young girl grips the city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the lives of two women converge on a fatal collision course. Maddie Schwartz (Portman) is a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Sherwood (Ingram) is a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger.
Lady in the Lake, an Apple Original Series, premieres globally with the first two episodes on Friday, July 19, exclusively on Apple TV+, followed by new episodes every Friday through August 23.
Costars in the seven-part limited series include Y’lan Noel (Insecure), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Byron Bowers (The Chi), Noah Jupe (Franklin), Josiah Cross (Masters of the Air), Mikey Madison (Better Things), and Pruitt Taylor Vince (The Mentalist).
A project of Fifth Season, the series is produced by Crazyrose and Bad Wolf America, and created, executive produced, written, and directed by Alma Har’el (Honey Boy) alongside producing partner Christopher Leggett. In addition to starring, Portman serves as executive producer alongside producing partner Sophie Mas. Nathan Ross and the late Jean-Marc Vallée serve as executive producers for Crazyrose, and Julie Gardner executive produces for Bad Wolf America. Layne Eskridge, Amy Kaufman, Boaz Yakin and author Lippmann also executive produce.
