Stephen Graham stars in Apple TV+ thriller Nocturne
Actor Stephen Graham stars in the new Apple TV+ psychological thriller Nocturne, an adaptation of Lars Kepler’s crime novels, The Sandman and Lazarus. The ten-episode series, created by John Hlavin and Rowan Joffé, moves the setting from Scandinavia to western Pennsylvania.
Graham portrays Jurek Walter, a dangerous serial killer confined to an underground unit in a psychiatric hospital. The plot follows Jonah Lynn, a retired detective played by Liev Schreiber, who is drawn back into action when a long-standing case resurfaces involving a kidnapped teenager. To uncover information about a potential victim, Lynn must interact with the manipulative Walter. The series also features Zazie Beetz as Agent Saga Bauer, who attempts to infiltrate the killer's environment.
To prepare for the role, Graham focused on physical conditioning to convey a sense of menace and studied true crime documentaries to better understand the psychological manipulation used by criminals.
