The Lake Release Date

The Lake Plot and Cast
After returning from abroad after a break-up with his long-term partner, Justin plans to connect with his teenage daughter he gave up for adoption. His plans to make new memories with his daughter at the family cottage go awry when he discovers his parents left it to his picture-perfect step-sister, Maisy-May.
Amazon says the story goes from family bonding in nature to “petty rivalry, strained relationships, day drinking, and mosquito-ravaged sunburns.”
The company says production has started on The Lake, which stars Canadian actor Jordan Gavaris of “Orphan Black” fame and Julia Stiles of “Hustlers” and “The Bourne Identity.”
Talking about the cast, it also includes Madison Shamoun, Jon Dore, Carolyn Scott, Natalie Lisinska, Travis Nelson, Declan Whaley and Terry Chen in the lead roles.
The Lake Trailer
The trailer for The Lake has not been released yet. Since the show’s release date is yet to be announced, we can expect it to release a week before the premiere.
