The first trailer for Apple TV Plus's Lisey's Story recently made its debut featuring star Julianne Moore. The new series is based on the Stephen King bestselling thriller and was adapted for the small screen by him as well, according to the press release provided by Apple TV Plus.
Lisey's Story is described as a deeply personal thriller that follows Lisey Landon, played by Moore, two years after the death of her husband, famous novelist Scott Landon, played by Clive Owen. Lisey will face memories of her marriage to Scott that she has deliberately blocked out of her mind. In the trailer below, Moore is going through it in true Stephen King fashion.
The Apple Original limited series is directed by Pablo Larraín, who helmed the Academy Award-nominated films No and Jackie. Alongside Moore and Owen, the series also stars Joan Allen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Dane DeHaan.

Children of Men was critically acclaimed and received several nominations from the Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards, and Saturn Awards, for which it won for Best Science Fiction Film.
