Lady in the Lake is a 2024 limited series based on the novel of the same name by Laura Lippman. The author said that with the book she took inspiration from two real-life murders that happened in her youth. The first was the abduction and murder of an 11-year-old girl, and the second was the death of a 33-year-old woman found in the fountain of the Druid Hill Park Reservoir.
In 1960s Baltimore, an investigative journalist working on an unsolved murder clashes with a woman working to advance the agenda of the city's black community. The protagonist ditches her doting husband and big Pikesville home to pursue a career as a newspaper reporter. She becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery of two separate killings: eleven-year-old Tessie Fine and a bartender named Cleo Sherwood.
The cast includes Natalie Portman, Moses Ingram, Y'lan Noel, Mikey Madison, Sean Ringgold, Brett Gelman, Noah Jupe, and Mike Epps.
