Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz, and Stephen Graham lead the cast of Apple TV’s Nocturne, based on Lars Kepler’s bestsellers Lazarus and The Sandman. The streamer just released the first two official photos and confirmed an October 30, 2026 premiere date. New episodes of the 10-episode season will stream on Fridays.
The cast also includes Bill Camp, Rory Culkin, Chrissy Metz, Poorna Jagannathan, and Gary Carr. BAFTA Award winner Rowan Joffe created the series and serves as a writer and executive producer. John Hlavin developed the series and guides Nocturne as showrunner, in addition to writing and executive producing.
“The project tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Emmy nominee Liev Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who, tired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in Western Pennsylvania for a quiet life,” reads Apple TV’s synopsis. “But, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Emmy winner Stephen Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear. When the desperate search for Jurek’s last missing victim forces Jonah to send his surrogate daughter FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Emmy nominee Zazie Beetz) up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go?”
Schreiber, Beetz, author Lars Kepler (Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril), Øystein Karlsen, David Rysdahl, Dorothy Fortenberry, and Niclas Salomonsson executive produce. Additional executive producers include Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, Heather Kadin, Peter Micelli, and Jack Whigham.
DGA winner Tim Van Patten directed the first two episodes and is an executive producer.
