The highly anticipated drama thriller miniseries, featuring Natalie Portman in both starring and executive producing roles, is slated for release on Apple TV+ in 2024.&nbsp;

It's time to grab your popcorn and call up your cinephile buddies. The iconic Black Swan&nbsp;star, Natalie Portman, is gearing up for yet another role hot on the heels of her Golden Globe-nominated performance in May December last year. This time, she's making a leap from the big screen to the small screen with Apple TV+'s television adaptation of Laura Lippman's 2019 novel Lady in the Lake. The drama thriller miniseries will bear the same title. Directed and written by Alma Har'el, Lady in the Lake boasts a stellar production team including Portman herself, alongside Har'el, Boaz Yakin, and Christopher Leggett, among others.
But before you get excited,&nbsp;L'OFFICIEL&nbsp;will give you the rundown of everything you need to know about Portman's latest work.&nbsp;

Set in the 1960s,&nbsp;Lady in the Lake&nbsp;delves into the tumultous intersection of journalism, racism, misogyny, and crime. The miniseries centers around Portman's character, Maddie Schwartz, an investigative journalist who forsakes her comfortable life to pursue a career in reporting. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">As she immerses herself in the vibrant yet fraught landscape of Baltimore, she becomes entangled in the pursuit of justice for two haunting murders. Amidst her quest for truth, she finds herself at odds with a woman dedicated to alleviating the struggles of Baltimore's black community, ultimately sparking tensions and revealing deeper societal divides. 
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Inspired by real-life events, author Laura Lippman weaves a gripping narrative that draws from the echoes of two unsolved murders, igniting a powerful exploration of race, privilege, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a turbulent era.&nbsp;

However, in 2022, Nyong'o dropped out of the miniseries and was later replaced by Moses Ingram, who is known for her role as Jolene in The Queen's Gambit. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/lupita-nyongo-lady-in-the-lake-series-apple-1235273642/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a>,&nbsp;Lady in the Lake&nbsp;was the second television role Nyong'o had exited since 2020, when she also dropped out of HBO Max's Americanah due to "scheduling issues caused by the pandemic."&nbsp;
Additionally, in 2022, actors Mikey Madison, Y'Lan Noel, Sean Ringgold, Noah Jupe, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, and Mike Epps were added to the cast.&nbsp;&nbsp;
