Liane Moriarty, whose work inspired the award-winning series Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, has adapted another murder mystery into a limited television series.
Television certainly isn’t lacking in murder mystery series, but few have been able to capture the nuanced ethical dilemmas humans face like Moriarty. Her adaptations are known for complex characters who are battling with even more complex moral conundrums, often resulting in significant twists and turns. It also helps that her previous series have been anchored by some stellar casts. And based on the first glimpse at Apples Never Fall, it looks like Moriarty’s got another hit on her hands.
The series will focus on the seemingly picture-perfect Delaney family, which includes retired tennis coaches Stan (Sam Neill) and Joy (Annette Bening) and their four children, Amy (Alison Brie), Troy (Jake Lacy), Logan (Conor Merrigan-Turner) and Brooke (Essie Randles). But things turn upside-down for everyone when Joy disappears, leaving behind a trail of mystery for her children to uncover.
Apples Never Fall drops Peacock on March 14.
