Based on Liane Moriarty’s New York Times bestselling novel, Apples Never Fall centers on the seemingly picture-perfect Delaney family. Former tennis coaches Stan (Sam Neill) and Joy (Annette Bening) have sold their successful tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. While they look forward to spending time with their four adult children (Alison Brie, Jake Lacy, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Essie Randles), everything changes when a wounded young woman knocks on Joy and Stan’s door, bringing the excitement they’ve been missing. But when Joy suddenly disappears, her children are forced to re-examine their parents’ so-called perfect marriage as their family’s darkest secrets begin to surface.

Our take

A dash of Succession, a touch of Bloodline and a hint of American Beauty… and you get Apples Never Fall, the new adaptation of best-selling author Liane Moriarty (Nine Perfect Strangers, Big Little Lies). Sam Neill and Annette Benning, parents of 4 children including Jake Lacy (The White Lotus) and Alison Brie (Glow) make up a family which is not what it seems on the outside, and differing views will destroy the façade…
