‘Lady in the Lake’ Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes of the Natalie Portman Series Come Out?

The first two episodes of “Lady in the Lake,” based on the Laura Lippman novel of the same name, are now streaming on Apple TV+.

New episodes of the series, which is from “Honey Boy” director Alma Har’ el, premiere each Friday on Apple TV+ through Aug. 23.

Natalie Portman stars as Maddie Schwartz, a 1960s housewife in Baltimore who is inspired to leave her husband and become an investigative reporter after two shocking deaths occur in the city. One of those deaths is Cleo Sherman, played by Moses Ingram, an Emmy nominee from “The Queen’s Gambit.”

Cleo narrates the story of her own death, while Maddie searches to find her killer — and from Cleo’s post-life perspective, it’s not exactly right for Maddie to use her murder to further her own fledgling career.

What is “Lady in the Lake” about?

The series is based on the bestselling novel by Laura Lippman, about how the lives of two women in Baltimore from two different cultures and classes intersect: Maddie is a Jewish housewife who never fulfilled her dream of becoming a journalist and Cleo is a Black woman who works at a jazz club and as a department store model, but wants a better life for herself and her two sons.

The story begins when a young Jewish girl goes missing; Maddie is consumed with the case and can’t understand why her husband and son want to go on with life as usual. Meanwhile, we meet Cleo in the last days before her death and see the betrayals that lead to her murder.
