Billy Crystal to Star in Apple TV+'s Psychological Thriller Before

In the five years since its launch, Apple TV+ has found a way to bring beloved stars and storytellers to the platform to tell a wide variety of stories, with their latest project being Before , which stars Billy Crystal . Not only is the new project exciting for bringing audiences a new project starring Crystal, who's gotten incredibly selective with his projects over the last decade, but it marks a relatively new avenue for the actor, as Before is a psychological thriller as opposed to a comedic project. You can check out our first looks at Before below, with the series set to premiere on Apple TV+ on October 25th.

Per press release, "Apple TV+ today shared a first-look at Before , an atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller starring multi-award winning actor, comedian, and filmmaker Billy Crystal. The ten-episode series is executive produced by Crystal, Oscar Award-winner Eric Roth, and creator Sarah Thorp and will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 25th with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through December 20th."

"Alongside Crystal, the supernatural mystery series stars multi-Emmy and Tony Award winner Judith Light ( Transparent ), Jacobi Jupe ( Peter Pan & Wendy ), Oscar 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 Eric Roth ( Killers of the Flower Moon , Dune ), pilot director Adam Bernstein ( Silo , Billions ), and producing director Jet Wilkinson ( The Chi , Truth Be Told )."
