Apple TV+ is showing an early sign of support for their new series Home Before Dark. It has been announced that the series, which premieres on April 3, has already been renewed for a second season.
Home Before Dark is a ten-part series, which is inspired by the real-life story of 11-year-old Hilde Lysiak, a young girl who moves from Brooklyn to the small lakeside town her father left behind. While there, her dogged pursuit of the truth leads her to unearth a cold case that everyone in town, including her own father, tried hard to bury.
Lysiak was essentially a young investigative reporter who, at age 9, was the first to expose a murder in her hometown of Selinsgrove, PA, breaking the news in her self-started newspaper, Orange Street News. Her exclusive drew negative feedback from online commenters who argued that that nine-year-olds shouldn’t be covering murders. Hilde fought back with a video, which went viral. She garnered national and international media attention and landed a deal with Scholastic to co-write four books with her author/journalist father, Matthew Lysiak, called Hilde Cracks the Case.
The series stars Brooklyn Prince, Jim Sturgess, Adrian Hough, Jibrail Nantambu, Deric McCabe and Joelle Carter & its first three episodes will begin streaming on Apple TV+ on April 3.
