Apple TV said “Nocturne” will start streaming on Friday, Oct. 30, with the first two episodes, in what Apple calls a global debut.
Apple announced the date on July 7 and repeated it with the trailer on Sept. 29 and after a New York premiere event on Oct. 20. New episodes follow every Friday through Dec. 25, according to Apple. That makes nine release days for 10 episodes: two on opening night, then one a week from Nov. 6.
Apple has not published a release time for the episodes, so check the Apple TV app on Friday for when they appear in your country.
