Elisabeth Moss, known for her acclaimed role in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, is set to star in the new Apple TV+ thriller series ‘Imperfect Women’, alongside Kerry Washington and Kate Mara. This highly anticipated series, which is based on the novel by Araminta Hall, delves into the complexities of friendship, murder, secrets, and betrayal.
The first two episodes of ‘Imperfect Women’ will be released on March 18, 2026, with a total of eight episodes planned for the series. In this gripping narrative, Moss plays the character Mary, while Washington portrays Eleanor and Mara takes on the role of Nancy. The show is directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, who is known for her work on various acclaimed television series.
The story’s unique narrative structure flips perspectives among the three main characters, allowing viewers to experience the unfolding drama through multiple lenses. This approach aims to create a more immersive viewing experience, as the characters navigate their intertwined lives amidst the chaos of a murder investigation.
Kerry Washington expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “I have been a Lizzie Moss fan forever. When you’re a woman who’s number one on the call sheet, you don’t often get to collaborate with other women who are number one on the call sheet. To be able to link arms and do this together has been so fulfilling, so enriching.” This sentiment reflects the growing trend of female-led projects in the entertainment industry, emphasizing collaboration among women in prominent roles.
Elisabeth Moss has been actively involved in production aspects of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ since its inception, showcasing her commitment to not only acting but also producing quality content. She and her producing partner Lindsey McManus have a first-look deal with Hulu and Disney’s 20th Television, which has allowed them to pursue various projects, including ‘Imperfect Women’.
In addition to her acting and producing work, Moss has been recognized for her dedication to learning and growing within the industry. She remarked, “From the beginning of ‘Handmaid’s,’ I really wanted to be a real producer and really be involved in things and really learn.” This drive for professional development has garnered respect from her peers, with Warren Littlefield stating, “Never underestimate Lizzie, because her hunger to learn and to grow is amazing.”
The series was filmed entirely in Los Angeles, contributing to the vibrant backdrop that enhances the storytelling. As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build around ‘Imperfect Women’, particularly as it marks another significant project for Moss, who has produced or executive produced six titles since 2020.
As ‘Imperfect Women’ prepares to debut, fans are also looking forward to the premiere of ‘The Testaments’, a sequel series to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, which is set to air on April 8, 2026. Observers anticipate that both series will further solidify Moss’s reputation as a leading figure in contemporary television, showcasing her versatility and commitment to compelling storytelling.
