Lady in the Lake TV show starring Natalie Portman debuts on Apple TV+

The new limited series Lady in the Lake, based on the book of the same name, debuts today on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes.

The show stars Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram in the lead roles, as Apple continues to invest in star power with big-budget streaming productions. The seven-episode TV show premieres today, and runs through August 23.

Lady in the Lake centers on Natalie Portman’s character, named Maddie Schwartz, investigating unsolved murder cases in a journalistic capacity.

In particular, she explores two disparate cases: the killings of an eleven-year-old girl, and a bartender named Cleo Sherwood. Moses Ingram plays the role of Cleo, with cross-cutting of timelines to link her story with Schwartz, sometimes portrayed through surrealistic flashbacks.

Both women share the need to escape from oppressive patriarchal oversight. Maddie is detaching from her controlling ex-husband, and Cleo is embroiled in the racket of the local gangster.
