Nocturne Trailer: Liev Schreiber and Stephen Graham Face Off in Apple TV’s Chilling Serial Killer Thriller

Apple TV has unveiled the official trailer for Nocturne, a dark and eerie new serial killer thriller that promises to take viewers deep into a chilling world of crime, obsession and family. The series follows Jonah Lynn, an ex-soldier and former homicide detective who leaves Philadelphia behind in search of a quieter life in a small Pennsylvania town. But his hopes for peace quickly disappear when the terrifying serial killer Jurek Walter brings a new threat to his doorstep.

At the heart of Nocturne is Liev Schreiber, who plays Jonah Lynn, a man determined to protect his family when his past and the deadly world of Jurek Walter collide. Jonah’s life takes an even more dangerous turn when the search for Walter’s final missing victim forces him to involve his surrogate daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer. Played by Zazie Beetz, Saga finds herself drawn directly into the investigation, putting her face-to-face with a killer whose methods are as unpredictable as they are disturbing.

Stephen Graham takes on the role of the sinister Jurek Walter, bringing another unsettling character to his impressive collection of performances. Walter is an imprisoned serial killer whose influence extends far beyond the walls holding him captive. As the mystery surrounding his last victim unfolds, Jonah and Saga are forced to confront the question of just how much danger they are willing to face to uncover the truth. The trailer hints at a tense cat-and-mouse game where even a killer behind bars can remain dangerously powerful.

The series features an impressive ensemble cast alongside its three central performers. Bill Camp, Rory Culkin, Chrissy Metz, Poorna Jagannathan, Gary Carr and Landon Valentin are also part of the cast. The combination of a small-town setting, a deeply personal family conflict and an elusive serial killer gives Nocturne plenty of room to build suspense. Rather than simply focusing on the hunt for a criminal, the story also appears interested in exploring how far people will go when those closest to them are threatened.

Nocturne is written and showrun by John Hlavin and created and written by Rowan Joffe. The series also brings together an experienced group of directors, with Tim Van Patten, Allen Coulter, Logan Kibens, Anu Menon and Joe Chappelle directing episodes. The show is adapted from the Killer Instinct book series, including The Sandman, adding a literary crime-thriller foundation to its dark television adaptation.

With its unsettling trailer and a cast led by Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz and Stephen Graham, Nocturne is shaping up as a tense addition to the serial killer thriller genre. The series is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV on October 30, 2026, just in time for viewers looking for something dark and suspenseful. For Jonah Lynn, the move to a quiet Pennsylvania town was supposed to be a fresh start—but with Jurek Walter in the picture, it may become the most dangerous chapter of his life.
