Apple TV+ Unveils First Look at Upcoming Series ‘The Changeling’

Written by John Edward Betancourt

One thing that fans of television can agree upon, is that Apple TV+ is leading the way when it comes to innovative programming. Because this is a network that releases bold television shows often, and they make a point to seek out stories that captivate and ignite our imaginations and go places that most television shows will not, and they have the credentials to back up that statement. Since they have Emmys in hand for their work, and even an Academy Award. All because they want to tell the most unique and compelling stories possible and well, it just so happens that another unique and innovative tale is about to arrive on the network.
​
For earlier today, Apple TV+ released a first look at the upcoming series, The Changeling, which is… not only based upon the best-selling novel by Victor LaValle, but a genre bending series really. Hailed as a ‘fairytale for adults’, it will feature elements of horror, fantasy, and everything in between over its eight-episode, first-season run and well… it doesn’t get more innovative and bolder than that. But to give you a proper idea of what to expect for this series, you need more, and we have more to offer. Courtesy of those first look photos and details on a show that will wow us when it arrives on the airwaves this September.  

‘Apple TV+ today unveiled a first look at “The Changeling,” an upcoming eight-part drama series starring and executive produced by Academy Award-nominee LaKeith Stanfield (“Atlanta,” “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Sorry To Bother You,” “The Book Of Clarence”), and announced that the series will make its global debut with the first three episodes on Friday, September 8, 2023 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode weekly through October 13.   
 
Based on the acclaimed best-selling book of the same name by Victor LaValle, “The Changeling''  is a fairytale for grown-ups. A horror story, a parenthood fable and a perilous odyssey through a New York City you didn’t know existed. In addition to Stanfield, the series stars Clark Backo, Adina Porter, Samuel T. Herring, Alexis Louder, Jared Abrahamson, and special guest star Malcolm Barrett. 
 
“The Changeling” is written and adapted by showrunner and executive producer Kelly Marcel (“Cruella,” “Venom,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”). The pilot episode was directed by Melina Matsoukas (“Queen & Slim,” “Insecure”).
 
The series is produced by Apple Studios and Annapurna. Megan Ellison, Patrick Chu and Ali Krug are executive producers on behalf of Annapurna. Showrunner Kelly Marcel, the book’s author Victor LaValle, David Knoller, and director Jonathan van Tulleken executive produce alongside star LaKeith Stanfield. Director Matsoukas serves as executive producer through her De La Revolución Films. Sue Naegle and David Wolkis also serve as executive producer, Khaliah Neal as co-executive producer.
