All things considered, the past several months have been pretty terrible for just about everyone on the planet. Of course, for some of us, it’s been worse than others, but with a pandemic, civil unrest, and a political system that seems to be going off the rails, the outlook is pretty grim. But for Elisabeth Moss, at least her career is at an all-time high, right? Not only is she the star of two critically-acclaimed films of 2020 (in a year when people are lucky enough to have one film released), but she’s also filling her schedule with a variety of new projects, including the just-announced series, “Shining Girls.”

According to Variety, Moss is set to star in the new Apple TV+ limited series, “Shining Girls.” In addition to starring, the actress will also produce the new show based on the 2013 Lauren Beukes novel of the same name. “Shining Girls,” which you might assume is about fans of Stanley Kubrick’s horror film, is actually about a journalist that finds herself trying to pick up the pieces of her life after surviving a brutal assault. As her reality shifts, the journalist is on a new mission to track down her attacker.
“Shining Girls” is written by Silka Luisa, who is probably best known as a producer and writer for the CBS All Access series, “Strange Angel.”
As mentioned, this is yet another new project recently announced for Moss. In addition to “Shining Girls,” it was revealed that Moss would star in another series, titled “Candy,” in which she stars as a real-life ax murderer, and the actress is also set to star in a new film, titled “Run Rabbit Run.”
It’s unclear when “Shining Girls” will be released or if it is the next project for Moss or not. However, if you’re aching for more Elisabeth Moss content, she recently released the film “Shirley,” which is one of the best of the year, and she’ll appear in the upcoming “The French Dispatch” from Wes Anderson and “Next Goal Wins” from Taika Waititi.
