Apple TV+ announced a premiere date for the LaKeith Stanfield series The Changeling, and unveiled a couple first look images
A couple years have passed since we heard that LaKeith Stanfield of Get Out and upcoming Haunted Mansion had signed on to star in the Apple TV+ series The Changeling – which is not a remake of the 1980 Peter Medak horror film of the same name (which you can watch at THIS LINK), but rather an adaptation of author Victor LaValle’s recent novel. (Buy LaValle’s book HERE.) Now Apple TV+ has announced (via Deadline) that The Changeling will premiere on Friday, September 8th… and along with that announcement, they have also unveiled a batch of first look images, which you can check out at the bottom of this article.
Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage screenwriter Kelly Marcel (who is now directing Venom 3) wrote the adaptation of LaValle’s story and served as showrunner, while Queen & Slim‘s Melina Matsoukas directed the pilot episode. The The Changeling, which comes to us from Annapurna Studios and Apple Studios is described as a “fairytale for adults”. A horror story, a parenthood fable and a perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn’t know existed”.
Stanfield takes on the role of Apollo in the story. LaValle’s novel is described as follows: When Apollo, Emma, and Brian have their baby Brian, it feels both like a reward and challenge for the new father. The story turns nightmarish after some young-parent squabbles and inexplicable images on their smartphones foreshadow trouble.
