    One of the most hotly-anticipated literary adaptations of the year, Apple TV+’s The Changeling, now has a hair-raising trailer.

    Looks pretty damn cool, eh?

    Adapted from Victor LaValle’s bestselling 2017 fantasy horror novel of the same name, The Changeling stars Academy Award-nominee LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah, Atlanta) as a rare book dealer who travels through New York’s shadow realms in search of his beloved wife after she does something horrific in the aftermath of the birth of their first child.

    The pilot episode of The Changeling airs on September 8.
