Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for its new series Lady in the Lake, the upcoming seven-part limited series starring Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-winner Natalie Portman, who also serves as executive producer, and Emmy Award nominee Moses Ingram. Created and directed by Alma Har’el, Lady in the Lake will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, July 19, 2024, followed by new episodes every Friday through August 23, 2024.
Set in Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the disappearance of a young girl grips the city, converging the lives of two women on a fatal collision course. Maddie Schwartz (Portman), a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Johnson (Ingram), a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their seemingly parallel lives intersect dramatically when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, creating a chasm that puts everyone around them in danger.
From visionary director Alma Har’el, Lady in the Lake emerges as a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.
Starring alongside Portman and Ingram in the series are Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.
Hailing from FIFTH SEASON, Lady in the Lake is produced by Crazyrose and Bad Wolf America. The series is created, executive produced, written, and directed by Alma Har’el, alongside producing partner Christopher Leggett. In addition to starring, Portman serves as executive producer alongside producing partner Sophie Mas.
