Trailer for Elisabeth Moss' Metaphysical Murder Mystery Thriller Series SHINING GIRLS
Apple TV+ has released a fantastic first trailer for the crazy-looking new series Shining Girls. The show stars Elisabeth Moss, who is also an executive producer on the project and the director. The series is described as a metaphysical murder mystery thriller, and the show also stars Phillipa Soo, Amy Brenneman, and Jamie Bell. It looks like it tells quite a gripping and intense story, and I’m looking forward to watching it.
The show is based on Lauren Beukes’ best-selling novel, and the story follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss) “as a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalistic ambitions were put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault. When Kirby learns that a recent murder mirrors her own case, she partners with seasoned, yet troubled reporter Dan Velazquez (Moura), to uncover her attacker’s identity. As they realize these cold cases are inextricably linked, their own personal traumas and Kirby’s blurred reality allow her assailant to remain one step ahead.”
Shining Girls is adapted for television and executive produced by Silka Luisa, who also serves as showrunner. Some of the other producers include Lindsey McManus. Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Michael Hampton. Michelle MacLaren is also a director and executive producer with Rebecca Hobbs for MacLaren Entertainment. Daina Reid directs and executive produces. Author Lauren Beukes and Alan Page Arriaga also serve as executive producers.
Hailing from MRC Television, the series is also executive produced by Appian Way and adapted for television by showrunner Silka Luisa, with Emmy Award winner Michelle MacLaren directing the first two episodes.
The series will make its big debut on Friday, April 29, 2022 with the first three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
