GoKawiilApple TV premieres crime drama Nocturne starring Stephen Graham
Apple TV's new crime thriller Nocturne debuts tonight with its first two episodes, starring Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz, and Stephen Graham as a serial killer. The series, based on Lars Kepler's novels 'Lazarus' and 'The Sandman,' will release new episodes weekly through December 25. Early reviews from outlets like The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, and The A.V. Club praise the show, particularly Graham's performance, though some critics found its opening episodes slow.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Strong early reviews could position Nocturne as another prestige hit for Apple TV, building on Graham's recent acclaim from Netflix's Adolescence and potentially drawing new subscribers. The weekly release schedule suggests Apple is betting on sustained audience engagement rather than a binge-watch model, which may help the platform compete for attention through the holiday season.
- Nocturne premieres tonight on Apple TV with its first two episodes, based on Lars Kepler's crime novels.
- Critics have praised Stephen Graham's performance as a serial killer, drawing comparisons to Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter.
