Apple Shares First Look at 'Before' Starring Billy Crystal

Apple has shared a first look at 'Before,' an atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller starring multi-award-winning actor, comedian and filmmaker Billy Crystal. The series also features Judith Light ("Transparent"), Jacobi Jupe ("Peter Pan & Wendy"), Academy Award nominee Rosie Perez ("The Flight Attendant"), Tony Award nominee Maria Dizzia ("Orange Is the New Black") and Ava Lalezarzadeh ("In the Garden of Tulips").

"Before" stars Crystal as Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after recently losing his wife, Lynn (Light), encounters a troubled young boy, Noah (Jupe), who seems to have a haunting connection to Eli's past. As Eli attempts to help Noah, their mysterious bond deepens.




Hailing from Paramount Television Studios, the limited series is created by Sarah Thorp ("The Bounty Hunter"). Thorp serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Crystal executive produces alongside Roth ("Killers of the Flower Moon," "Dune"), pilot director Adam Bernstein ("Silo," "Billions") and producing director Jet Wilkinson ("The Chi," "Truth Be Told").

The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 25, with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 20.
