Stephen Graham stars as serial killer in Apple's Nocturne

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 10:27 · Archive

Emmy-winning actor Stephen Graham plays an imprisoned serial killer in the new Apple TV series Nocturne, which launches Friday.

Stephen Graham stars as Jurek Walter, an imprisoned serial killer, in the new Apple TV series Nocturne, launching Friday. The ten-episode drama is adapted from Lars Kepler's novels The Sandman and Lazarus and has been created by John Hlavin and Rowan Joffé, who relocated the story from Scandinavia to western Pennsylvania.

The series begins when a kidnapped teenager resurfaces in the woods after three years in captivity. His abducted sister remains missing, presumed held by the same person. Authorities, including a broken retired detective played by Liev Schreiber, turn to Graham's character—a serial killer who previously terrorized the community—for assistance.

Graham, who won an Emmy and Golden Globe, prepared for the role by watching true crime documentaries handpicked by his wife Hannah, who he says is 'slightly obsessed' with the genre. He described the process of absorbing the mannerisms and psychology of real killers, saying it was 'like going to an art gallery and being inspired by wonderful art' that influences your work without conscious awareness.
