Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Alison Brie & More Star In Peacock’s Upcoming Drama Series

Dec 12, 2023

It’s been said a million times already, but it remains true—some of the most interesting stories are being told on TV rather than in films. With the film industry becoming more and more reliant either on franchises and blockbusters or low-budget horror, there’s not a lot of space for the mid-budget adult drama. And those projects have now, for the most part, migrated over to TV where streaming services and premium networks snatch up limited series filled with all-star casts. In March 2024, Peacock has one such series, “Apples Never Fall.”

As we approach the end of 2023, Peacock has begun the promotional cycle for its new limited series, “Apples Never Fall.” Based on a bestselling novel by Liane Moriarty (“Big Little Lies”), the series will follow the story of the Delaney family and what happens when a young woman enters their lives and a member of the family suddenly disappears.

The series features an incredible cast including Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Alison Brie, Jake Lacy, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Essie Randles, Georgia Flood, Jeanine Serralles, and Dylan Thuraisingham. “Apples Never Fall” is written, produced, and showrun by Melanie Marnich, who is probably best known for her work on series such as “The OA” and “The Affair.”
“Apples Never Fall” is expected to arrive on Peacock in March 2024. You can see the first-look photos below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Based on Liane Moriarty’s New York Times bestselling novel, Apples Never Fall centers on the seemingly picture-perfect Delaney family. Former tennis coaches Stan (Sam Neill) and Joy (Annette Bening) have sold their successful tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. While they look forward to spending time with their four adult children (Alison Brie, Jake Lacy, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Essie Randles), everything changes when a wounded young woman knocks on Joy and Stan’s door, bringing the excitement they’ve been missing. But when Joy suddenly disappears, her children are forced to re-examine their parents’ so-called perfect marriage as their family’s darkest secrets begin to surface.
