‘Nocturne’ Episode 3 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The third episode of ‘Nocturne’ is titled “Eyes on the Inside” and is set to arrive on November 6. Apple TV opened the season with a two episode premiere, so viewers now face the first weekly gap of the run.
Anyone tracking the next ‘Nocturne’ episode release will want the date, the likely streaming time, and a sense of what the hour holds. The series centers on detective Jonah Lynn, who races to find the one person still missing after a victim of the serial killer Jurek Walter turns up alive. It is based on a bestselling novel by Lars Kepler and runs for ten episodes.
‘Nocturne’ Episode Release Date and Schedule
Apple TV confirmed a two episode premiere on October 30, followed by weekly releases through December 25. The third episode lands on Friday, November 6, with the fourth, titled “The Courier,” following on November 13. That makes this the first installment viewers will wait a full week to see.
“Eyes on the Inside” is directed by Allen Coulter and written by Dorothy Fortenberry and Lee Edward Colston II. The opening two episodes were directed by Emmy winner Tim Van Patten, so the series changes directors at this point.
John Hlavin and Rowan Joffe share showrunning duties, and A+E Studios produces the series with Range Studios. Liev Schreiber leads as Jonah, Stephen Graham plays Jurek Walter, and Zazie Beetz plays Saga Bauer. The cast gathered for a world premiere event in New York City on October 20 ahead of the global debut.
What Time Does the Next ‘Nocturne’ Episode Release
One published U.S. schedule lists the release time for every episode as not announced. That leaves viewers relying on the streamer’s habits.
Apple TV regularly releases new episodes of its shows at 9 p.m. ET the night before their scheduled premieres, though that is not guaranteed. For a Friday release, that pattern would point to Thursday evening. The streamer has also surprised audiences by dropping anticipated episodes early.
The opening two episodes were expected to reach U.S. viewers on Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET ahead of their Friday date. The sources reviewed here only address Eastern Time, so viewers elsewhere should check their local Apple TV listing.
Where to Watch ‘Nocturne’ on Apple TV
‘Nocturne’ streams exclusively on Apple TV. The series debuted globally on the service on October 30.
A subscription is required, and Apple TV now costs $15 per month after a seven day free trial, following a two dollar price increase. That means new subscribers can still start the trial and catch up on the opening pair before the next weekly drop.
UK coverage likewise describes the series as exclusive to Apple TV, with the first two episodes landing on Friday 30 October and the remaining episodes arriving weekly.
‘Nocturne’ Episode Preview and Early Reception
The official synopsis for “Eyes on the Inside” says communication goes dark, forcing Saga to get creative, while Jonah investigates a cryptic symbol. Saga is Jonah’s protégée and has gone undercover to get answers from the killer himself.
Apple TV has not published a full list of detailed episode summaries in its main announcement. That limits what can be said about the hour without guessing, so the synopsis remains the dependable guide.
The Hollywood Reporter found the series watchable but not fully gripping, based on seven of the ten hours sent to critics. RogerEbert.com praised the ensemble and the thriller plotting, noting that the show works to escape the shadow of its obvious influences.
Metacritic reflects a similar picture, with a Metascore of 73 labeled generally favorable across 12 critic reviews. Apple TV chose not to send the final three episodes to press, so the later hours remain open questions. Viewers who have finished the opening pair can say in the comments whether they expect Saga’s undercover work or Jonah’s cryptic symbol to drive “Eyes on the Inside.”
