The plot delves into the themes of family dynamics, secrets, and the challenges of appearances versus reality.

Stan (Neill) and Joy (Bening), retired tennis coaches and academy owners, look forward to spending quality time with their adult children in their retirement. 

However, when a wounded young woman appears at their doorstep, the tranquility of their world is shattered. As Joy, the matriarch of the Delaney clan, mysteriously disappears, her four children are left grappling with the sudden upheaval, forced to confront revelations that challenge their perception of their parents’ lives.

 

Thrill at castingUpon the series’ initial announcement in February, Moriarty shared her excitement about the talented leads in a Facebook post.

The Sydney-based author expressed her thrill, stating, “I am so thrilled to announce that the amazing ANNETTE BENING will play Joy Delaney in the upcoming television adaptation of Apples Never Fall!” Days later, when Neill joined the cast, Moriarty continued to gush, describing it as “more wonderful news for the upcoming television adaptation.”

Neill continues to show no signs of slowing down. The actor is battling the rare blood cancer, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and shocked fans in October with an update on his condition.
