Moses Ingram is replacing Lupita Nyong’o in the upcoming series adaptation of Lady in the Lake for Apple. Nyong’o exited the series last month where she was supposed to co-lead opposite Natalie Portman.
Y’Lan Noel, Mikey Madison, and Brett Gelman also star in the series, which is currently in production and is based on Laura Lippman’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name.
