First Look At Apple TV’s Lady in The Lake Starring Natalie Portman

We’ve basically seen her grow up on the big screen, this July we’ll see Natalie Portman make her debut on the small screen with Lady In The Lake. Apple TV have released a first look at the limited drama mystery series.

New Apple Original drama is based on the 2019 novel by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman. Portman stars along side Moses Ingram and we head back to 1966 Baltimore Thanksgiving Day. She plays Maddie, a Jewish housewife whose past life is a bit of an mystery. Now re-inventing herself as an investigative journalist who becomes obsessed with the mysterious death of Cleo, a Black mother.

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. 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.

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.

Lady in the Lake will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, 19th July.
