Stephen Graham\u2019s new Apple TV series<\/a> has a new title \u2014 Nocturne \u2014 and a debut date.<\/p>\n

Formerly titled Lazarus, the 10-episode drama written by Rowan Joffe and John Hlavin also stars Liev Schreiber<\/a> and Zazie Beetz. The four of them are among Nocturne\u2018s executive producers; Hlavin is showrunner.<\/p>\n

The name change likely stemmed (in part, at least) from the fact that Amazon Prime Video series Harlan Coben\u2019s Lazarus beat it to market. (And Nocturne\u2018s development may explain by Coben\u2019s name is in the other series\u2019 title, though that\u2019s also kind of his thing.)<\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s Adolescence owned the Emmy Awards last year<\/a> with a total of eight wins, including for best limited series. He wrote and starred in that one; Graham (Snatch, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire) is just an actor for Nocturne.<\/p>\n

Lazarus is the name of the 2018 Lars Kepler novel the series has been adapted from. \u201cLars Kepler\u201d is the pen name for husband-and-wife duo Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril; they executive produce the series under the alias.<\/p>\n

Nocturne will premiere globally on Oct. 30, 2026 \u2014 what we in the United States refer to as \u201cMischief Night.\u201d Apple will roll out two episodes at that time and the next eight each Friday through Christmas. Tim Van Patten (Masters of the Air, Black Mirror) directs both of those first two episodes.<\/p>\n

The limited series tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), a former soldier and current homicide detective who, \u201ctired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in Western Pennsylvania for a quiet life,\u201d the synopsis reads. \u201cBut, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear.\u201d<\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cWhen the desperate search for Jurek\u2019s last missing victim forces Jonah to send his surrogate daughter FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Beetz) up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go?\u201d
