‘Imperfect Women’ Trailer: Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara’s Friendship Turns Deadly
Joel Kinnaman and Kate Mara in “Imperfect Women,” premiering March 18, 2026 on Apple TV.
Apple TV+ teases a glossy, slow-burn thriller where secrets between friends prove far more dangerous than enemies.
Apple TV+ has unveiled the first trailer for Imperfect Women, and the message is clear: this is not a friendship anyone should trust. The upcoming limited series, led by Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara, positions itself as a sleek psychological thriller where decades of loyalty begin to fracture under the weight of buried secrets and a shocking crime.
Adapted from Araminta Hall’s novel of the same name, the series centers on a murder that sends shockwaves through a long-standing trio of friends. According to Apple’s official logline, Imperfect Women explores guilt, betrayal and the irreversible compromises people make in the name of love and self-preservation. The newly released footage leans heavily into tension and emotional unease, suggesting a layered mystery that slowly dismantles the illusion of intimacy between its central characters.
The trailer highlights Kate Mara’s character as the volatile center of the story, with hints that her past — and possibly her closest allies — may not be what they seem. Kerry Washington and Elisabeth Moss bring sharply contrasting energies to the dynamic, reinforcing the sense that every relationship in this world comes with hidden costs. The tone feels deliberately controlled and prestige-forward, very much in Apple’s wheelhouse of polished adult thrillers.
Behind the camera, Physical and Based on a True Story creator Annie Weisman serves as showrunner and adapter, while Lesli Linka Glatter directs key episodes. The ensemble cast is stacked well beyond the central trio, featuring Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom Jr., Sheryl Lee Ralph, Ana Ortiz and Wilson Bethel, among others — a clear signal that the series is aiming for both awards attention and broad streaming appeal.
