AppleTV+ has blessed binge watchers with hit after hit in recent months, with everything from science fiction gems like Silo and Severance to action-packed Hijack and the hilarious Ted Lasso gracing our screens. For those looking for something a little more sinister to sink their teeth into, the platform also served up The Chaneling late last year, which landed on the streaming platform just ahead of spooky season.

Described by the streaming service as “a fairy tale for grown-ups”, The Changeling is a chilling drama based on Victor LaValle’s best-selling book of the same name.

Starring LaKeith Stanfield (of Atlanta, Get Out and Judas and The Black Messiah fame), the eight-part series follows antiquarian book dealer Apollo Kagwa on a perilous odyssey to find his wife following the birth of their first child.
