First Look: Billy Crystal's Thriller Before

It sounds like Billy Crystal is stepping into some pretty intense territory with Before. His role as a child psychiatrist dealing with grief and a mysterious connection to a young boy certainly marks a departure from his usual comedic work.

The show’s premise—focusing on the emotional and psychological dynamics between Eli and Noah—seems ripe for exploring deep themes and complex characters.

Judith Light and Jacobi Jupe add to the intrigue, promising a strong cast to support Crystal. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles such a dramatic and emotionally charged role.

The addition of Rosie Perez, Maria Dizzia, and Ava Lalezarzadeh to the cast definitely adds to the series' depth and appeal. Their diverse backgrounds in various dramatic roles could bring additional layers to the story.

Sarah Thorp’s experience with psychological and dramatic content should lend a strong narrative structure to the series, and with Billy Crystal also on board as an executive producer, it seems like the project has a solid creative foundation.

The first-look images should give us a glimpse into the series’ tone and setting. If you’re excited about the show, the visuals might offer a sneak peek into the atmosphere and style of Before.
