Apple TV+’s first photos from Echo Valley showcase the dramatic thriller’s cast while not giving away any spoilers. The stills feature Oscar winner Julianne Moore, Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney, and Domhnall Gleeson.
“In the edge-of-your-seat thriller Echo Valley, Kate (Moore) is a mother struggling to make peace with her troubled daughter Claire (Sweeney)—a situation that becomes even more perilous when Claire shows up on Kate’s doorstep, hysterical and covered in someone else’s blood,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “As Kate pieces together the shocking truth of what happened, she learns just how far a mother will go to try to save her child in this gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and survival from BAFTA-winning director Michael Pearce and Emmy-nominated writer Brad Ingelsby.”
Speaking with Vanity Fair, Julianne Moore discussed the appeal of the thriller. “These are my favorite kinds of movies: movies about relationships,” said Moore. “What will people do for one another? What kind of decisions do you make? How far will you go?”
Moore also revealed that she’s not sure what the audience’s reaction will be. “There will be a sense, certainly, among parents going, like, ‘Well, would I do that? How far would I go?’ You’re left with those questions,” teased Moore.
The cast also includes Fiona Shaw, Edmund Donovan, Albert Jones, and Kyle MacLachlan. Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Kevin J. Walsh, and Brad Ingelsby serve as producers, with Ted Deiker, Scott Greenberg, Erika Olde, Sam Roseme, Nicole Jordan-Webber, and Rebecca Feuer executive producing.
Echo Valley premieres on Apple TV+ on June 13, 2025.

Fox’s The Cleaning Lady season four kicked off with the gruesome death of Agent Katherine Russo (Liza Weil) and ended with Thony taking on a new job as the cartel’s go-to doctor. The season four episode two plot description indicates she’s just beginning to understand what that actually means. “Le Medecin” airs on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 at 8pm ET/PT.
Elodie Yung leads the cast as Thony, Santiago Cabrera plays Jorge, Kate del Castillo is Ramona Sanchez, Martha Millan plays Fiona, Faith Bryant is Jaz, and Sean Lew plays Chris. Recurring season four guest stars include Danny Pardo as El Don, Daniel Bonjour as Dr. Sean Dupont, Alain Uy as Feng, and Brian Norris as Cowboy Hat.
“Le Medecin” Plot: As Thony starts her new position within the cartel, she reckons with what it means to be a good employee or a good person. Fiona deals with a difficult client that helps Chris connect with an old friend. Jorge navigates obstacles in his quest for legitimacy. Finding himself between a rock and a hard place, he turns to Ramona for help.
The Cleaning Lady returns for an action-packed season four, with the series’ beloved characters in ever-changing and increasingly dangerous situations. After three seasons of being a pawn caught between the FBI and the world of organized crime, THONY (Yung) makes the bold decision to take charge of her own destiny — by exchanging her cleaning lady uniform for the scrubs of a surgical intern at a small community hospital.
Thony’s return to the medical career she sacrificed for her son, LUCA (Sanchez), opens a new path to citizenship for them both. But to make this happen, she must continue her service to the Sin Cara cartel — not as a cleaning lady, but as the new mob doctor — bringing her ever closer to JORGE (Cabrera), the cartel’s brooding new leader. Under the watchful eye of the hospital’s brusque yet handsome chief resident, DR. SEAN DUPONT (Bonjour), Thony straddles the line between two worlds until they inevitably come crashing into each other.
Newly enthroned as the head of Sin Cara, Jorge has ambitious plans to take the cartel in a surprising, yet lucrative, direction. He’s invested Sin Cara’s assets into a rare earth mine worth billions. It’s easy, legitimate money that will result in generational wealth for them all. But the old dogs of the cartel are unwilling to learn new tricks from their upstart leader, which results in a fracture within the organization. Flanked by his lieutenants, the veteran EL DON (Pardo) and quirky newcomer FENG (Uy), Jorge must fend off a mutiny within Sin Cara, which threatens the lives of everyone he loves.
Even from within the walls of a maximum-security prison, former head of Sin Cara, RAMONA (Del Castillo) remains a threat. She continues to exert influence through her unpredictable proxy on the outside, the loner only known as COWBOY HAT (Norris). But she’s vulnerable on the inside. When a tough prison gang puts Ramona in their crosshairs, she must dig deep into her devious bag of tricks to find a way to survive.
Meanwhile, FIONA (Millan) struggles to keep her cleaning business afloat, leading her into the world of identity theft. CHRIS (Lew) learns the painful truth about first love and channels his raw emotions into an unexplored passion — dance. And JAZ (Bryant) deals with the difficulties of being the perfect child in a decidedly imperfect family.
The Cleaning Lady continues its exploration of the experience of undocumented immigrants and the hurdles they face in this country. The series tells their stories of resourcefulness in the face of institutional adversity and the sacrifices they must make to achieve their American dream.

The show stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson’s old life isn’t done with him, though—Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century,” reads CBS’s synopsis. “Watson is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history’s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.
