UPDATE: Apple TV has unveiled a teaser trailer for its adaptation of Araminta Hall’s Imperfect Women, starring Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington and Kate Mara among others.
The clip watches the three main women, who have been friends since college, navigate the ups and downs of long-term friendship with secrets and moments of camaraderie. Everything is uprooted when it’s implied that Kate Mara’s character Nancy dies.
Hall teased the show, setting the scene for those in attendance to imagine your best friend’s husband calling you to ask where she is because she didn’t come home last night.
The trio of women stars hinted that their characters may seem perfect on the surface, but contain complexity deep down as is found in Hall’s novel. Mary (Moss) is a writer, and Eleanor (Washington) is the single friend in the group with avoidant tendencies and a mysterious background.
The full trailer, which will be released later this month, was also shown in the room, teasing the glamorous lives of the three women and what they thought they knew about each other.
The stars did speak about the imperfect men in the show as well. Corey Stoll plays Moss’ character’s husband. Joel Kinnaman plays Mara’s character Nancy’s husband. Leslie Odom Jr. portrays Eleanor’s brother.

The photo, which is embedded above, shows the three leading ladies Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss and Kate Mara clinking glasses with cheerful looks on their faces. However, based on the synopsis, those smiles are sure to fade over the course of this eight-episode limited series.
Imperfect Women, created for television by Annie Weisman and based on Araminta Hall’s novel of the same name, examines a crime that shatters the lives of a decades-long friendship of three women.
The unconventional thriller 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 friendships may not be what they seem.
