Lupita Nyong’o exits Apple limited series currently in production

Nyong’o was also set to executive produce the show.

Lupita Nyong’o has exited Lady In The Lake, Apple’s limited series adaptation of Laura Lippman’s book. Nyong’o was to star alongside Natalie Portman, who remains in the series.

The series is currently in production and a search is underway for a new actress to take over her role. Nyong’o also was on board as an executive producer.

The limited series takes place in 60s Baltimore, where an unsolved murder pushes housewife and mother, Maddie Schwartz, played by Portman, to reinvent her life as an investigative journalist and sets her on a collision course with Cleo Sherwood, the role played by Nyong’o, a hard-working woman juggling motherhood, many jobs and a passionate commitment to advancing Baltimore’s Black progressive agenda.

A reason for her exit has not been given.

Lupita was the goodwill ambassador for the Africities Summit set to end on Saturday, 21st May.
