Witness the trailer for Apple TV+'s upcoming series, ‘The Changeling.’ This gripping saga, not only starring but also executive produced by the talented LaKeith Stanfield, is set to redefine the boundaries of modern storytelling.

Conjured by the creative mind of Kelly Marcel and masterfully directed by Melina Matsoukas, The Changeling draws inspiration from the pages of Victor LaValle's acclaimed novel of the same name. This TV adaptation promises to be a grown-up fairy tale, intricately woven with threads of horror, parenthood wisdom, and an exploration of the concealed corners of New York City.

Herring, Alexis Louder, Jared Abrahamson, and a captivating guest appearance by Malcolm Barrett.

Within The Changeling, viewers will witness the enchanting love story of Apollo (Stanfield) and Emma (Backo), seemingly plucked from the very pages of a classic fairy tale. Yet, as the narrative unravels, Emma's mysterious disappearance casts a shadow over their idyllic romance, propelling Apollo on a perilous odyssey through the labyrinthine streets of New York City.

At the helm of this magical journey is showrunner and executive producer Kelly Marcel, who meticulously transforms the original tale into a visual feast for the senses. The pilot episode, brought to life under the deft direction of Melina Matsoukas, serves as a mere glimpse of the mesmerizing journey that awaits.

The Changeling's creation is a collaborative effort between Apple Studios and Annapurna, an amalgamation of creative minds united to craft an unforgettable experience. Behind the scenes, notable names like Megan Ellison, Patrick Chu, and Ali Krug represent Annapurna's executive prowess, while Marcel, LaValle, David Knoller, and Jonathan van Tulleken contribute their brilliance as executive producers. Not to be overlooked, LaKeith Stanfield and Melina Matsoukas infuse their creative essence as executive producers, with Sue Naegle, David Wolkis, and Khaliah Neal further enhancing the project's splendor.

The Changeling's captivating narrative will unfold over eight mesmerizing episodes, with the global debut set for Friday, September 8, exclusively on Apple TV+. Audiences can relish the first three episodes in one enchanting binge-worthy sitting, followed by a weekly dose of magic every subsequent Friday until October 13.
