One Serial Killer, One Missing Victim and Three Seriously Heavy Hitters
Catching a killer means crossing the line. Apple TV’s new crime thriller Nocturne puts Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz and Stephen Graham at the center of a very dark game of cat and mouse — and judging by the trailer, nobody is getting out of this one clean.
Schreiber plays Jonah Lynn, an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who leaves the hard streets of Philadelphia for what is supposed to be a quieter life in a small town in western Pennsylvania. Naturally, television has other plans.

Apple TV’s Nocturne
Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz and Stephen Graham headline Apple TV’s 10-episode crime thriller, based on Lars Kepler’s bestselling Joona Linna novels.

The trouble arrives in the form of Jurek Walter, the serial killer played by Graham. When one of Jurek’s victims unexpectedly turns up alive, Jonah is pulled into a race to find the one person still missing before it’s too late.
That search also puts Saga Bauer, played by Beetz, directly in the danger zone. Saga is Jonah’s protégé and an FBI agent who goes undercover to get answers from Jurek himself — meaning the case quickly stops being just another investigation and turns deeply personal.
The setup comes from the world of bestselling crime-writing duo Lars Kepler, with the series drawing from their Joona Linna novels. Apple says the 10-book series has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, so there is already plenty of darkness waiting behind this adaptation.
Rowan Joffé created Nocturne for television and co-showruns alongside John Hlavin. Tim Van Patten directs the first two episodes, while Schreiber and Beetz also serve as executive producers.
The wider cast includes Bill Camp, Rory Culkin, Chrissy Metz, Poorna Jagannathan and Gary Carr, rounding out a crime drama that clearly is not short on serious acting firepower.

Nocturne premieres globally on Friday, October 30, 2026 with its first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 25. Ten episodes, one killer and what looks like a very bad month for anybody standing between Jurek Walter and his next move.
