Apples Never Fall is TV's latest failed attempt to recreate the Big Little Lies effect
BBCApples Never Fall is TV's latest failed attempt to recreate the Big Little Lies effect HBO/Alamy Apples Never Fall is no Big Little Lies — but it shows how author Liane Moriarty earned her prestige TV throne. In the years since, two more TV shows based on Moriarty novels have been released into the world: 2021's Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu, a psychodrama set in a wellness spa and once again starring Kidman as an enigmatic lifestyle guru; and, just this month, Apples Never Fall, a Peacock series about a dysfunctional, wealthy family of star tennis players featuring Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Jake Lacy and Alison Brie. Moriarty first had a novel optioned four years before Big Little Lies' release: The Husband's Secret had the film rights picked up in 2013 just months after topping the New York Times bestseller list. Her two novels published since the show's release – Nine Perfect Strangers and Apples Never Fall — were optioned for television months before they even hit shelves, a decisive demonstration of Hollywood's faith in Moriarty as a hit-maker.
