Portman stars as housewife Maddie Schwartz, a bored housewife who leaves her comfortable life to become a journalist. 

After stumbling upon the body of a young girl, she becomes obsessed with finding her killer. 

The series is adapted from the 2019 Laura Lippman novel, with the streaming series setting a July 19 premiere date.

The series also stars Y'lan Noel, Brett Gelman, Byron Bowers, Noah Jupe, Josiah Cross, Mikey Madison and Pruitt Taylor Vince.

Har'el serves as writer, director, executive producer and showrunner, alongside her producing partner, Christopher Leggett.

Portman also serves as an executive producer alongside author Lippman and Lupita N'yongo, plus late filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallee.

Lippman was inspired to write the book based on the real and unrelated deaths of two women in Baltimore in 1969.

The first was the murder of 11-year-old Esther Lebowitz which was widely reported around Baltimore, and the other was 33-year Black woman Shirley Parker, which went largely unreported.

Her red carpet appearance comes after Portman revealed she is worried about how women are made to feel that they have to look perfect all the time.

The Lady In The Lake star — who has son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, seven, with ex husband Benjamin Millepied — a said there is an 'extremely dangerous' amount of pressure piled on people to have a perfect body in the social media age.

The beauty - who lost 20lbs to play a ballerina in her movie Black Swan - told Grazia: 'It's very hard to escape. You have to block it out as much as possible because it's extremely dangerous.'

Asked how she does that, she replied: 'Not being on social media, not reading anything about myself.'
