Overview
- Apple TV announced Tuesday that Nocturne, formerly titled Lazarus, will debut globally on October 30 with the first two episodes and then release the remaining eight episodes weekly through December 25.
- The series stars Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz and Stephen Graham and features an ensemble that includes Bill Camp, Rory Culkin, Chrissy Metz, Poorna Jagannathan and Gary Carr.
- Nocturne is a 10-episode adaptation of Lars Kepler’s novels Lazarus and The Sandman, developed for television by Rowan Joffe with John Hlavin serving as showrunner and writer.
- Tim Van Patten directs the first two episodes and the series is produced for Apple TV by A+E Studios in association with Range Studios, with Schreiber and Beetz also credited as executive producers.
- Apple released first-look images with the announcement but has not widely issued a trailer yet, and the staggered two-then-weekly rollout signals a strategy to combine an event-style launch with sustained viewer engagement.
