July 31 (UPI) -- Billy Crystal portrays a grieving child psychologist in Before, an upcoming Apple TV+ series.

The streaming service shared a glimpse of the show, which was described as a "supernatural mystery series," on Tuesday.

Eli (Crystal), is navigating the loss of wife Lynn (Judith Light), when he meets Noah (Jacobi Jupe), who is suffering with severe anxiety and nightmares.

The child "seems to have a haunting connection to Eli's past," the official synopsis reads. "As Eli attempts to help Noah, their mysterious bond deepens."

In addition to Crystal, Light and Jupe, Before also stars Rosie Perez, Maria Dizzia and Ava Lalezarzadeh.
