The series is loosely inspired by the 2017 article from The Hollywood Reporter that revealed Angelyne's secret past as a Polish-born daughter of Holocaust survivors, and the cast also includes Martin Freeman, Lukas Gage, and Hamish Linklater.

Now and Then – Apple TV Plus
Available: Worldwide
Watch now: Apple TV Plus
New thriller series Now and Then follows a group of close-knit college friends whose lives are changed forever when a weekend of graduation celebrations ends in tragedy. Two decades later, the group is reluctantly reunited at their class reunion when a blackmail threat puts all their lives in danger. The series has two timelines, so, as the title might suggest, it cuts between the action in flashbacks to 2000 and back to the present day in 2020. The ensemble cast includes The Flight Attendant's Rosie Perez.
