Apple TV Sets Oct. 30 Premiere for Nocturne, Releases First Trailer

Overview

• Apple TV released the first trailer for Nocturne on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, and confirmed the series will premiere globally with two episodes on Oct. 30.
• Nocturne is a 10-episode adaptation of Lars Kepler’s bestselling novel The Sandman that will stream new episodes weekly through Dec. 25 after the double-episode launch.
• The show stars Liev Schreiber as ex-soldier–turned–homicide detective Jonah Lynn, Zazie Beetz as FBI Agent Saga Bauer and Stephen Graham as the imprisoned serial killer Jurek Walter.
• Rowan Joffe and John Hlavin co-showrun and write the series, Tim Van Patten directs the first two episodes, and production is led by A+E Studios and Range Studios with Schreiber, Beetz and Kepler listed among the executive producers.
• The late-October release slots the series into the Halloween viewing window and the weekly schedule is designed to sustain audience attention through the holidays while spotlighting prestige actors and a tense cat-and-mouse premise where an investigator goes undercover to probe disappearances.
