Jacobi Jupe, Maria Dizzia, Ava Lalezarzadeh and Hope Davis Join Cast

Jacobi Jupe (Peter Pan and Wendy), Maria Dizzia (School Spirits), Ava Lalezarzadeh (The Pursuit) are set as series regulars and Emmy nominee Hope Davis (Succession) will recur in Before, Apple TV+‘s upcoming limited series, starring and executive produced by Billy Crystal, from Paramount Television Studios.

They also join multi-Emmy and Tony winner Judith Light and Oscar nominee Rosie Perez in the 10-episode atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller.

Written by Sarah Thorp, who also serves as showrunner, Before revolves around Eli (Crystal), a child psychiatrist who, after recently losing his wife Lynn (Light), encounters Noah (Jupe), a troubled foster child, who seems to have a haunting connection to Eli’s past.

Seductively enigmatic, Light’s Lynn is the love of Eli’s life, but her recent death may not be quite what it seems. As Eli digs deeper into the hidden life of the wife he thought he knew, he soon finds Lynn haunting him from beyond the grave.

Dizzia will play Barbara, Eli’s daughter.

Lalezarzadeh will portray Cleo, a street and booksmart colleague of Eli’s.

Davis will play Dr. Jane, a respected Chief of Pediatric Neurology.
