Apples Never Fall

● Apples Never Fall is a mystery thriller about the Delaney family, whose carefully kept secrets begin to surface after a young woman arrives at their door.

● When matriarch Joy disappears, her children try to figure out what went wrong.

● The show is an adaptation of the novel by Liane Moriarty, who previously wrote Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers.

● The series boasts an all-star cast including Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Jake Lacy and Alison Brie.

Apples Never Fall follows the Delaneys, who appear to be the ultimate all-American family. But, as with many Liane Moriarty stories, there is much more going on beneath the surface.

Tennis coaches Stan and Joy, the heads of the house, are ready to start their retirement and live their calm and peaceful ‘golden years’. With their four children now grown and out of the house, they prepare to sell off their tennis academy and wind down.

But when a young woman bangs on their door begging for help, everything changes. Things become even more complicated when Joy goes missing, forcing the Delaney children to look more closely at their parents’ lives and the secrets behind their picture-perfect image.

The limited series was released in 2024.

Apples Never Fall runs for seven episodes in total.

At the time of writing, there are no plans for a second season of Apples Never Fall, with the show billed as a limited series.

However, both Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers have continued beyond the first seasons adapted from Moriarty’s books.

Sky will let you know as soon as there’s any news of the show’s future.

Beyond the fact that all three stories come from Liane Moriarty, there is no official connection between Apples Never Fall, Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers.

However, each story contains similar narrative themes.

Notably, all three focus on polished, affluent worlds where family secrets and private tensions sit beneath carefully managed public images.
