The Changeling (2023) is an American horror series (Appl) adapted from a novel by Victor LaValle.

According to Mike Hale in The New York Times:

“A changeling is what a fairy or demon or troll leaves behind when it kidnaps a human baby…”The Changeling” on Apple TV+ is about what happens when a mother comes to believe, perhaps correctly, that the tiny thing she is caring for is no longer her baby.”

The mother, Emma “Emmy” Valentine (Clark Backo), is an orphan who grew up in kinship care.
