In the classic horror tradition of titles that are mildly irritating to Google, the Before series premiers October 2024. Before currently isn’t listed as horror or horror-adjacent officially but a drama that certainly reads eerie regardless. The series follows child psychiatrist Eli Adler (played by Billy Crystal), who after losing his wife to suicide, meets his next client, a young boy with a seemingly haunting connection to Eli’s past.
Where to Watch Before
Before streams on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, October 25. It premiers with its first 2 episodes, followed by weekly episodes every Friday until December 20.

When it comes to quality alone, few come close to Apple TV+ and its originals. If you’re not yet familiar with the service, here’s a link and refresher:
Apple TV+
Apple TV+ is an ad-free and on-demand streaming service whose library may seem small compared to other streamers, but you can be sure that every single title it has is produced in-house. This covers critically acclaimed films like Killers of the Flower Moon, as well as dramas, sitcoms, kids' shows, and more recently, Friday Night Baseball. It costs $9.99/month and can be played on most devices except Android phones and tablets.
Who stars in Before?
Before stars and is executive produced by comedian/actor Billy Crystal (Eli). Joining him in the cast are a selection of Emmy and Oscar level talents in Judith Light (Lynn), Hope Davis (Dr. Jane), and Rosie Perez (Denise), among others. From the stacked cast to the atmospheric pseudo-thriller vibes, this 10-episode drama series is definitely looking like one of the most interesting shows to check out come Halloween season.
