'Servant' Season 2: Meet Toby Kebbell, Rupert Grint and rest of the cast of M Night Shyamalan show on Apple TV+
One of the most talked-about shows from the early lineup of Apple's streaming service, Apple TV+, was the M Night Shyamalan drama 'Servant'. 'The Sixth Sense' director executive produced the thriller drama written by Tony Basgallop and it debuted on the platform in late 2019. It revolves around the mysterious nanny Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free) who is hired by Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell) and Dorothy Turner (Lauren Ambrose) to look after their baby. However, the truth is far from what the situation seems to be. The cast is rounded out by Rupert Grint who plays Dorothy's brother, Julian Pearce.
When Leanne is hired, Sean tells her the truth about Jericho. The baby had died at just 13 weeks old, but because Dorothy could not cope with the loss, they use a reborn doll. While Sean and Julian are aware of the reality, Dorothy is not. However, when Leanne comes to live with the Turners to look after Jericho, strange things begin to happen. Leanne and Dorothy get on well at first, with Sean having doubts about Leanne. However, when Leanne learns a hidden truth at the end, she absconds with the baby that replaced the doll. The second season of 'Servant' will take on a more supernatural turn as Dorothy and Sean look for Leanne. When Leanne does return to the brownstone, it is with the intention of making Dorothy pay for what she did.
