Apple Shares Another Teaser for M. Night Shyamalan Apple TV+ Series 'Servant'

Thursday October 3, 2019 6:02 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Apple today shared a new teaser trailer for its upcoming TV show "Servant," which is a psychological thriller created by Tony Basgallop and executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan.

The series is said to follow a Philadelphia couple (played by Tony Kebbell and Lauren Ambrose) who hire a young nanny named Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) to care for their newborn child, who, based on the trailers, appears to be a fake baby.


The new teaser trailer is one of three that Apple has shown so far, with the others previewed during the Emmy Awards in September.



Servant will not be available when Apple TV+ launches on November 1, but it will be coming out soon after on November 28. ‌Apple TV‌+ will be priced at $4.99 per month, but Apple is offering a free subscription to customers who purchase an ‌Apple TV‌, iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

At launch, ‌Apple TV‌+ will offer several TV shows, including "Dickinson," "For All Mankind," "Helpsters," "Ghostwriter," and "The Morning Show."

It's literally the exact same plot

Saw the full trailer at "A night with M. Night" last night in NYC. It looks really good!

M Night didnt write this, he just produced it according to the full article.

I didn’t realize that. Thought he was the writer as well.
I’d guess he slipped Philadelphia into it though. :)

Hard to know without seeing the full series. That film changes pretty drastically halfway through.

True but the premise is exactly the same other than names and location. If someone were explaining the Apple series to me with out spoilers they would say something like "This couple hires a nanny to watchover their child but the child is actually just a doll" you wouldn't actually have a clue to which one I am referencing. I'm fine with creators using certain elements of another creators project but not with someone using the exact same plot.

Wasn't there a movie exactly like this a few years ago called the boy with Lauren Cohen?
