Lady in the Lake

Natalie Portman, Moses Ingram, and Ylan Noel Star in Apple TV+'s New Crime Thriller

Premiering July 18, 2024

When a woman finally goes into the attic of her life and finds lost lies, that's where Lady in the Lake is the best version of itself.

When winding plotlines are abandoned for a sharp focus on Portman's Maddie Schwartz, the series engages with timely and complex themes of identity, motherhood, and trauma.

A bird's eye view of Lady in the Lake may make Alma Harrel's ambitious new Apple series sound as convoluted and unsatisfying as the Laura Lippman novel it's based on. But give it time and you'll discover a show that confidently carves out its own path, delivering an immersive psychological thriller that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

Series creator Alma Harel, Portman, and her co-star Moses Ingram take us inside their adaptation of the Laura Lippman novel.

Maddie Schwartz (Portman) is a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist covering a murder in 1960s Baltimore.
