There are always fresher ways of telling a story. Storytellers ruminate on a fresh approach that would revitalize the whole form. Filmmakers are not much different. They have to dabble in the narrative, and they, too, are constantly looking for a fresh vision. The new series, The Changeling, does seem very offbeat in its approach to storytelling. Based on the novel of the same name by Victor Lavalle, The Changeling presents us with an alternate version of New York City in the hopes that it can then tell a fairy tale of epic proportions. This fairy tale is quite unusual, as it contains elements of horror as well, and at times, things become so nerve-wracking that it’s hard to process anything.

Apple TV+ is launching the genre-blending The Changeling on September 8, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes. Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield leads the cast of what the streaming service describes as a fairytale for grown-ups, a horror story, and a parenthood fable.
Joining Stanfield (“Apollo Kagwa”) in the eight-episode series are Clark Backo (“Emmy”), Adina Porter (“Lillian Kagwa”), Samuel T. Herring (“William Wheeler”), Alexis Louder (“young Lillian”), and Jared Abrahamson (“Brian West”). Malcolm Barrett (“Patrice”) is featured as a special guest star.
Just ahead of its premiere, the drama based on Victor Lavalle’s bestselling novel sits at 75% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Huff Post’s Candice Frederick says “The Changeling is an extravagant genre offering about… well, many different things. Most profoundly, it’s about the natural horrors of life and death — as well as the stories we tell ourselves and those we love.”

When it comes to getting audiences to sample revivals of shows “Night Court” and “Quantum Leap,” NBCUniversal is leaving less of the task to chance.
In a different era, a network like NBC would run promos on its own air and be satisfied that those short vignettes urging viewers to try something new were reaching millions of people each day. In the streaming era, TV companies have to work harder.
NBC has teamed up with the measurement-technology firm VideoAmp to help it examine the effectiveness of its marketing for the shows it launches. Rather than relying primarily on linear promos, networks have moved more of their outreach to digital and social media, realizing they can leave no media type unexplored in their quest to find viewers.
“The reality is we have a lot of loyal viewers and some very strong viewership happening on linear. We also have a growing pool of strong viewing on digital,...
