The seven-episode show, which takes place in 1960s Baltimore, is based on Laura Lippman's 2019 novel of the same name. According to the synopsis, Lady in the Lake is centered on the murder of a young Jewish girl and the disappearance of a Black woman, which inspires Natalie Portman's character Maddie to look into the potential connection between the cases.
'IT’S A WRAP on Lady in the Lake. A year of writing. 11 months of shooting in Baltimore aka Charm City. Hundreds of bodies working together,' Har’el wrote via Instagram in November 2022. 'Some days are a dream and some we want to forget. We can whole-heartedly say we are not the same people we were before and we’re thankful for every soul who worked on this very challenging production.
