Following a batch of promo stills, Apple TV+ has unveiled a creepy trailer for Lisey’s Story, a new limited series based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King.
Described as "a deeply personal, pensive thriller," Lisey's Story stars Julianne Moore as a woman still struggling to cope two years after the death of her husband, famous novelist Scott Landon (Clive Owen). A series of unsettling events causes Lisey to face memories of her marriage to Scott that she has deliberately blocked out of her mind.
Lisey's Story hails from J. J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with Pablo Larraín on directing duties. In a rare move, King actually wrote all eight episodes himself.
"I was attracted to it because of Stephen, and also because it was something that was so personal to him," Moore tells EW. "One of the things that's amazing about Stephen and his writing is that he's able to explore human relationships but in a fantastical way. [This story] was sort of investigating the idea of an adult, mature relationship and a long-term one — a marriage — and what it meant to them personally, the secrets that they shared."
Check out the trailer below.
Lisey's Story also stars Joan Allen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Dane DeHaan, Ron Cephas Jones and Sung Kang, and is set to premiere globally on Friday, June 4 with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday.
