Time To Kill
Elisabeth Moss swaps Gilead for a ’90s time travel thriller in her latest series Shining Girls
“Have you seen this pair of jeans? I lost them here.”
IN THE SIX YEARS PLUS THAT Elisabeth Moss has been working on the TV adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, she’s expanded outside of her acting lane, adding directing and executive producing to her resume on both Handmaid’s and her latest series for Apple TV+, Shining Girls.
Using hiatuses to work on new projects, Moss spent two years with showrunner Silka Luisa to adapt Lauren Beukes’s 2013 novel into an eight-part series that retains the book’s genre mash-up of a serial killer mystery with a sci-fi thriller.
Moss also stars as Kirby Mazrachi, a painfully shy newspaper researcher in ’90s Chicago. The victim of a brutal assault by an unseen man years before, she’s been experiencing “slips” in time ever since the attack. When she discovers recent murders that resemble her own attack, she tries to find the perpetrator to get answers – and justice.
