Apple TV+ gave audiences a sneak peek into their upcoming, highly anticipated limited series “Lady in the Lake.” Set to debut globally on July 19, 2024, the series boasts an impressive cast led by Academy Award and Golden Globe Award-winner Natalie Portman and Emmy Award nominee Moses Ingram.

“Lady in the Lake” dives into the gripping tale of the disappearance of a young girl in Baltimore during Thanksgiving 1966. The narrative intertwines the lives of two women, Maddie Schwartz (Portman) and Cleo Sherwood (Ingram), whose paths collide amidst the city’s turmoil.

“Lady in the Lake” is a collaboration between FIFTH SEASON, Crazyrose, and Bad Wolf America, with Har’el and Christopher Leggett serving as creators, executive producers, writers, and directors. Portman, alongside producing partner Sophie Mas, also serves as an executive producer, contributing to the series’ creative vision.

The late Jean-Marc Vallée, Nathan Ross, and Julie Gardner also join the production as executive producers, alongside author Lippmann and a team of seasoned industry professionals.
