Apple TV+ Debuts New Crime Drama Series Nocturne
The new thriller starring Liev Schreiber and Stephen Graham is now streaming.
Apple TV+ has expanded its growing library with another potential hit. The new crime series, Nocturne, is now available to platform users. Subscribers can currently watch the first two episodes, with subsequent episodes scheduled to arrive every Friday until December 25.
A Star-Studded Cast and Plot
The series is based on Lars Kepler’s bestselling novels, Lazarus and The Sandman. At the centre of the plot is the character Joona Linna, played by renowned actor Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan). Linna is a former military officer who, exhausted by his work on the streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in Pennsylvania in search of peace.
However, his hopes for a quiet life are quickly dashed when a ruthless serial killer, Jurek Walter, targets both the town and his family. Walter is played by Stephen Graham, whose performance has already been described by critics as chilling and impressive. The drama is further heightened by Zazie Beetz, who portrays FBI agent Saga Bauer as she joins the complex effort to capture the killer.
The Team Behind the Camera
The first two episodes of the series were directed by Tim Van Patten, whom audiences will remember from another high-profile Apple TV+ project, Masters of the Air. His experience and directorial style lend the series a distinct visual and narrative flair, making it an attractive prospect for fans of crime dramas.
Nocturne joins a list of successful Apple TV+ series, including Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, and Silo. The platform continues to produce high-quality original content that generates significant interest worldwide.
What This Means for Viewers
In Georgia, as in many countries around the world, the Apple TV+ service is becoming increasingly popular. Although the service requires a paid subscription or inclusion in an Apple One bundle, the series offered by the platform are frequently discussed within the international cultural space. High-budget, high-quality projects like Nocturne further strengthen Apple's position in the streaming market, allowing local viewers to keep up with the latest developments in the modern television industry.
