Trailer For Elisabeth Moss' Metaphysical Thriller Series SHINING GIRLS

Apple TV+ has debuted the first trailer for Elisabeth Moss’ upcoming series Shining Girls. The show is based on Lauren Beukes’ best-selling novel, and the story follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss), a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalistic ambitions were put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault.

This show looks pretty wild and it’s described as a metaphysical thriller. When Kirby learns that a recent murder mirrors her own case, “she partners with seasoned, yet troubled reporter Dan Velazquez (Wagner 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.”

As you’ll see in the trailer, the story takes some interesting and mind-bending twists and turns. Joining Moss and Moura in the series are Phillipa Soo, with Amy Brenneman and Jamie Bell. 

Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad) directed the first two episodes. It was adapted for television and executive produced by showrunner Silka Luisa, and Leonardo DiCaprio is also a producer on the project. The eight-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on April 29th, 2022, with the first three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
