‘Apples Never Fall’ Showrunner Details How She Put ‘Big Little Lies’ To The Back Of Her Mind When Adapting Peacock Thriller & Why Annette Bening’s Performance Gives Her “Goosebumps” – Series Mania


'Apples Never Fall's Melanie Marnich has talked HBO's Big Little Lies, Annette Bening and Series Mania.

Peacock ‘s Apples Never Fall, which stars 2024 Oscar-nominee Annette Bening and launches tomorrow with international premiere at next week’s Series Mania, was made with a Big Little Lies-free lens, Marnich explained to Deadline. Exec produced by the storied David Heyman along with Moriarty, Apples Never Fall stars Bening as Joy Delaney, a matriarch former tennis coach married to the irritable Stan (Sam Neill), who suddenly goes missing, leaving her four children to piece together everything they thought they knew about their parents. This was led by Bening, who was most recently Oscar-nominated for Nyad but has barely acted on the small screen during a decorated, near-40-year career, although she once played herself in a dreamy episode of The Sopranos.
