Apple TV has revealed a first look at Nocturne, a new series based on the internationally bestselling crime novels Lazarus and The Sandman by Lars Kepler. The 10-episode drama stars and is executive produced by Liev Schreiber and Zazie Beetz. It will make its global debut October 30 on Apple TV with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 25.
The cast also includes Stephen Graham, Bill Camp, Rory Culkin, Chrissy Metz, Poorna Jagannathan, and Gary Carr. Nocturne was written and executive produced by John Hlavin (Shooter, The Man Who Fell to Earth), who also serves as the showrunner. It was created for TV, written, and exec produced by Rowan Joffé (Tin Star, Ballad of a Small Player).
The project "tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who, tired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in western Pennsylvania for a quiet life. But, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear. When the desperate search for Jurek's last missing victim forces Jonah to send his surrogate daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Beetz), up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go?" Apple TV said.
