“Before” is a new psychological thriller series on Apple TV+, starring and produced by the legendary Billy Crystal. It features supernatural elements, a tense psychological atmosphere and emotional exploration.
The drama premiered on October 25 of this year with the first two episodes available immediately, followed by weekly releases, culminating in a total of ten episodes that will conclude on December 20.
The plot centers around Eli, a child psychiatrist, who struggles with the recent loss of his wife. His life changes when he begins to treat Noah, a troubled boy who has a mysterious connection to his past.
Will Before have a second season on Apple TV+?
So far, Apple TV+ has not confirmed any plans for a second season. Being marketed as a miniseries, it is possible that “Before” with Billy Crystal and Jacobi Jupe (Eli) is not intended to continue with a new season.
The series is created and directed by Sarah Thorp, known for her work in suspense projects. It also features the involvement of executive producer Eric Roth, who has a distinguished career in film and television.
It represents a significant shift for Crystal, who has traditionally been known for his comedic roles. It offers a darker narrative focused on character development, tackling themes of grief, memory and the fragility of the human mind.
According to Matt & Carter TV Commentary, showrunner Sarah spoke with Comic Book Movie about the future of the show, expressing her enjoyment in working on the project and alluding to the possibility of new episodes.
“You know, who knows what the future holds? I loved writing this character. I loved working with Billy. I had so much fun with this mix of genres that we did, but all I can say is, we’re enjoying where we are right now and hope everybody else enjoys it as well“, she said.
