Quick Summary
Before will premiere on Apple TV+ on 25 October, with the first two episodes of 10 being available from day one.
It stars Billy Crystal as a child psychiatrist who, after meeting a haunted young boy, uncovers a mystery surrounding his own past.
Billy Crystal is set to make a big TV comeback on Apple TV+ later this month in a role that might surprise some.
He plays the lead and executive produces Before, a psychological thriller that looks to be as creepy as it is mysterious. It'll debut on the streaming service on Friday 25 October, with the first two episodes available immediately. New episodes will then be released each subsequent Friday.
An official trailer has recently been released that shares a bit more on the show, and it is apparent that it'll be dark theme, with more to the plot than initially meets the eye.
The trailer also sports a particularly creepy soundtrack that could irk Liverpool fans – it's a horror-centric cover of the club's adopted anthem (originally from the musical Carousel), You'll Never Walk Alone. And it certainly sets the tone.
What is Apple TV+'s Before about?
In Before, Crystal plays child psychiatrist Eli, who encounters a troubled boy, Noah (played by Jacobi Jupe), after the death of his wife. He soon finds out that the boy has a mysterious connection to his past, which they set out to discover together.
It has been co-written by Academy Award winner Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Dune) and also stars Judith Light (Ugly Betty) and Rosie Perez (White Men Can't Jump), There are 10 episodes in total and it seems to be a one season affair, so you can expect a definitive ending.
