Apple TV+ doesn’t reveal too many plot particulars in that trailer (it’s described as a “metaphysical thriller” in a press launch), however Shining Girls relies on The Shining Girls, an award-winning 2013 novel by Lauren Beukes. In the e-book at the very least, the killer is a ne’er-do-well who discovers a key that permits him to journey by way of time, although the value he has to pay for the privilege is killing ladies alongside the best way. Moss (who additionally has government producer and director credit on the sequence) performs an aspiring Chicago journalists who survives an encounter with the assassin—then turns the desk on her attacker, although because the trailer suggests she’s not fairly sure who she’s after, when she’s after them, or what all that metaphysical stuff actually means. All we will say is, this present appears like its themes are gonna get darkish as hell—one thing the star of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Invisible Man has already demonstrated is 100% in her wheelhouse.
