Drama Series 'The Changeling' Coming to Apple TV+

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that it has picked up a new drama series called "The Changeling," which is based on the best-selling Victor LaValle book of the same name. LaKeith Stanfield, known for "Atlanta" and "Judas and the Black Messiah," is set to star in the show.

"The Changeling" is described as a "fairytale for grown-ups" that's part horror story, part parenthood fable, and a "perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn't know existed."

The book's main character, Apollo Kagwa, is an antiquarian book dealer who is beginning to settle into his new life as a devoted father when his wife Emma begins acting strangely and eventually disappears. He meets a mysterious stranger who provides him with information about Emma's whereabouts and embarks on a quest to find her.

The series will be written and adapted by Kelly Marcel, known for "Cruella" and "Venom." Melina Matsoukas, known for "Insecure," is set to direct.

LaKeith Stanfield is great! Looking forward to this.

Honestly there isn't a lot on Apple TV+ that I don't like. This sounds super interesting and am super excited.

 

[orbital~debris]

Sounds fab.
Looking forward to watching this – autumn 2022?

Stanfield has a small but very important role in Get Out, he's definitely got the character actor role down.

 

[XXPP]

No, thanks. I prefer other actors.

This looks excellent! Apple is starting to carve out a little horror niche with Servant, Lisey's Story, and now Changeling. I would love a ton more in this genre.

LaKeith is a great actor.

Evergreen reminder that if you haven't seen the 1980 movie Changeling, you are missing out on one of the finest horror-suspense movies ever made.

"The Changeling" is described as a "fairytale for grown-ups" that's part horror story, part parenthood fable, and a "perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn't know existed."

It sounds like I could get all that by just going to New York City and trying to walk through Central Park at night, unarmed.

At the risk of sounding pessimistic, tell me why would I do this?

I think if you walk through Central Park, at night, unarmed on LSD you could probably skip the show. Plus you’d need to repeat all that one night a week for something like 10 weeks. Me, I’d skip all that and probably watch the show. 🙃

Yeah! He was also great in Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You.

Might be good. Looking out for the trailer.
