Apple TV+ has launched an ‘impeccable’ new series fronted by Oscar-winner Natalie Portman that has fans saying the streamer has ‘done it again’. Billed as a ‘feverish noir thriller, Lady in the Lake is based on the 2019 New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Laura Lippman. The seven-part series revolves around the disappearance of a young girl that grips the US city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966 and the lives of two women converging on a fatal collision course.

Maddie (Portman) is a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, while Cleo (Moses Ingram) is a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger. Lady in the Lake is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+ , which TV lovers can join for £8.
