Yahoo Lifestyle Kate Mara Joins Elisabeth Moss & Kerry Washington In Apple’s ‘Imperfect Women’
Kate Mara (upcoming The Astronaut) has joined the cast of Imperfect Women, Apple’s limited series based on the 2021 novel by Araminta Hall, Deadline has learned. While her role is under wraps, she’ll star opposite the previously announced Elisabeth Moss and Kerry Washington, who also exec produce.
An unconventional psychological thriller examining a crime that shatters the lives of a decades-long friendship of three women, Imperfect Women is described as a mystery complicated by perspective that explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that alter our lives irrevocably. As the investigation unravels, so does the truth about how even the closest relationships can change over time.
