Apple TV+’s Lady in the Lake starring Oscar-winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan) will premiere on Friday, July 19, 2024 with the release of the first two episodes. The limited series, based on Laura Lippman’s 2019 New York Times bestseller, was announced by the streaming service in March 2021 and has author Lippman involved as an executive producer.
Emmy nominee Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit) stars alongside Portman. The cast of the seven-episode series includes Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.
“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), a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Sherwood (Ingram), a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “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. 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.”
Har’el created the series and serves as writer, executive producer, and director. Additional executive producers include Natalie Portman, Sophie Mas, Christopher Leggett, Lyne Eskridge, Amy Kaufman, and Boaz Yakin. Crazyrose’s Nathan Ross and the late Jean-Marc Vallée also executive produce, along with Bad Wolf America’s Julie Gardner.
