Lady In The Lake is based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, written by Laura Lippman (What The Dead Know). Deadline provided a description of the series: “It takes place in ’60s Baltimore, where an unsolved murder pushes housewife and mother Maddie Schwartz (Portman) to reinvent her life as an investigative journalist and sets her on a collision course with Ingram’s Sherwood, a hardworking woman juggling motherhood, many jobs and a passionate commitment to advancing Baltimore’s Black progressive agenda.”

Kaufman (Lulu On The Bridge), and Layne Eskridge (She’s Gotta Have It).
Alma Har’el (Honey Boy) will be writing Lady In The Lake. The upcoming series will mark the first TV projects for Har’el and Portman.
