What to Know
Nocturne premieres Oct. 30, 2026, on Apple TV.
The series tracks a troubled detective pursuing a serial killer.
A quiet life is what Liev Schreiber's detective wants in Nocturne. But a serial killer stands in the way. The mystery thriller is scheduled to premiere globally on Friday, October 30, 2026, with two episodes available to stream. Apple TV released the trailer showing co-star Stephen Graham as the imprisoned mastermind who triggers a high-stakes investigation.
The 10-episode series follows Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), a former soldier now working as a Philadelphia homicide detective. Looking to slow down, Jonah moves to a small town in western Pennsylvania. When the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), he must protect all that he holds dear.
The desperate search for Jurek's last missing victim forces Jonah to send his surrogate daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Zazie Beetz, Joker), undercover to confront Jurek. How far will Jonah go to save a life?
The mystery-thriller roots come from Lars Kepler's bestselling Joona Linna novels The Sandman and Lazarus. Lars Kepler is the pen name of Swedish husband-and-wife writing team Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril, who also serve as executive producers.

The cast includes Bill Camp (Presumed Innocent) as Chief Dave Ellison, Rory Culkin (Black Mirror) as Karl Anders, Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) as Ida Frost, and Gary Carr (Death in Paradise) as Nathan Pollock. The series also stars, in recurring roles, Poorna Jagannathan (Deli Boys) as Quinn and Gameela Wright (Blue Bloods) as Rola Brolin.
Rowan Joffé created Nocturne for television, while John Hlavin helped develop the series. Both write, executive produce, and share showrunning duties. Tim Van Patten directs the first two episodes and serves as an executive producer.
A+E Studios produces the drama in association with Range Studios. Schreiber also executive produces, while Beetz does so through her Sleepy Poppy production company.
Filming took place in the woods and small towns around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After the first two episodes, Apple TV will release one new episode each Friday. The last episode is scheduled for Dec. 25.
