The Changeling is an upcoming horror fantasy series set to release soon on Apple TV+. The highly anticipated horror series is set to premiere on September 8, 2023. The series is going to have eight episodes which have the potential to keep the audience stuck in suspense.

The series is based on a 2017 novel of the same name by author Victor LaVelle. The premise of The Changeling, as per IMDB, reads:

"When Apollo Kagwa's father disappeared, he left his son a box of books and strange recurring dreams. Now Apollo is a father himself--and as he and his wife, Emma, settle into their new lives as parents, exhaustion and anxiety start to take their toll. Apollo's old dreams return and Emma begins acting odd. At first, Emma seems to be exhibiting signs of postpartum depression."

The premise further continues:

"But before Apollo can do anything to help, Emma commits a horrific act and vanishes. Thus begins Apollo's quest to find a wife and child who are nothing like he'd imagined. His odyssey takes him to a forgotten island, a graveyard full of secrets, a forest where immigrant legends still live, and finally back to a place he thought he had lost forever."
