Synopsis:

Quote

When the disappearance of a young girl grips the city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the lives of two women converge on a fatal collision course. Maddie Schwartz (Portman) is a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Sherwood (Ingram) is a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger. From visionary director Alma Har’el, “Lady in the Lake” emerges as a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.

Lady in the Lake tells the story of Madeline “Maddie” Schwartz, a Jewish housewife that leaves her husband and helps the Baltimore police investigate the disappearance of 11-year-old Tessie Fine on Thanksgiving Day, 1966. This lands Maddie a job with a newspaper, the Star. Another sensational story crosses her desk, Cleo Sherwood, a young black woman, whose body was found in the fountain of a lake in a city park, receives very little media coverage. Lady in the Lake tackles issues of religious discrimination, racism, and gender inequality.

‘Lady in the Lake’: Natalie Portman & Moses Ingram Take Us Inside That Eerie Department Store Scene (VIDEO)

Quote

“It’s a very poignant moment. It tells the future of the series. Maddie’s looking at a human, and just seeing the dress, not seeing the person.” - Natalie Portman

Quote

Series writer/director Alma Har’el stresses the importance of the department store window encounter. The story, “really starts with two women sharing a dress – and that dress becomes a clue,” Har’el says. Maddie will use Cleo’s eventual murder to write an investigative journalism piece and launch the writing career she’s always wanted – without much thought to who Cleo really was in life.

‘Lady in the Lake’ Boss on Not Being Open to Additional Seasons of Limited Series, Jean-Marc Vallée’s Role in Show’s Origin

Article touches on many subjects.

And I know that this is a limited series, but I feel like often we hear about shows that launch as a limited series, and then they do additional seasons. Would you be open to more seasons of this?

No. This is a story that feels very complete to me. I feel like I’m honored that I got to, you know, the freedom that I got to do what we did with the book. I’m thankful to both Laura Lippman and Apple, that they allowed us to take such liberties, and I think we explored everything that there was to explore.
