Get ready for a thrilling new series from Apple TV+. Lady in the Lake officially premieres in July.

The ‘60s-set limited series stars Oscar winner Natalie Portman and Emmy nominee Moses Ingram. When the disappearance of a young girl grips 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. 

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. 

Lady in the Lake is created, executive produced, written, and directed by Har’el. In addition to starring, Portman also executive produces the series.

Besides Portman and Ingram, the show also stars Y’lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison, and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

Lady in the Lake includes seven episodes. The first two will premiere globally on Friday, July 19 on Apple TV+. Afterwards, new episodes will drop each Friday until the finale on August 23.

Until then, check back to THS for more updates.
