Apple TV+ has released the first teaser for Shining Girls, a  thriller-mystery series starring a seemingly time-travelling Elisabeth Moss (Shirley, The Invisible Man).

Based on South African author Lauren Beukes’ best-selling 2013 novel of the same name, Shining Girls follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss), 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 (Narcos’ Wagner Moura) to uncover her attacker’s identity. As they realise there are more cold cases connected to the event, their own personal traumas and Kirby’s blurred reality make it difficult for them to get ahead of the mysterious assailant.

Moss and Moura are joined by Phillipa Soo (Hamilton, Dopesick), Amy Brenneman (The Leftovers) and Jamie Bell (Rocketman). The first two episodes of the series are directed by Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad), with The Handmaid’s Tale’s Daina Reid and Moss herself also directing further episodes.

Apple TV+ premieres the first three episodes of Shining Girls from April 29th, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly every Friday. Watch the teaser trailer below:
