Apple TV+’s upcoming thriller Imperfect Women, starring Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington and Kate Mara, is set to premiere on Wednesday, 18th March, with the first two episodes released that day. The eight-part crime drama, based on Araminta Hall’s bestselling novel of the same name, follows three best friends whose lives are upended by a murder.
The synopsis describes the series as “an unconventional thriller [that] explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that alter our lives irrevocably.” As the investigation unfolds, the two surviving friends must confront toxicity, lies and betrayals hidden within their long-standing friendship.
Moss, who also serves as executive producer, told Glamour that the role offered a refreshing change from her bleak six-season run in The Handmaid’s Tale. “I had scenes where I was laughing, joking, and being flirtatious and gossiping. I don’t normally get to do that,” she said. However, she cautioned that episodes six and seven are “very, very serious,” adding, “you’re going to see episodes six and seven of this show and be like, ‘What the f*** is she talking about?’”
The cast also includes Joel Kinnaman, Corey Stoll and Leslie Odom Jr. Early reviews from Good Housekeeping have called the narrative “twisted,” promising crime fans have “been dreaming about a series as good as this one.” Social media buzz has been strong, with one fan declaring, “I'm so seated for #ImperfectWomen!”
Imperfect Women premieres on Apple TV+ on 18th March.
