Forced to come to terms with a violent assault she suffered from a time-traveling serial killer, it’s up to her to identify the man before he strikes again. This Apple Original airs Friday, April 29 and you can watch it exclusively on Apple TV+.

About ‘Shining Girls’
Played by Emmy award winner Elisabeth Moss, Kirby Mazrachi lives in a shifting reality; a lingering symptom of the near-lethal attack that she survived. Based on Lauren Beukes’ 2013 best-selling novel of the same name, “Shining Girls” combines a classic murder thriller with distinctly supernatural elements that extend past the main character’s perception. Watching Kirby grow increasingly aware of her constantly morphing surroundings is what keeps the narrative so compelling.
The sole survivor of this serial killer, Kirby’s life is a constant war with her cognitive stability and perception of what’s real. Despite the supernatural twist, “Shining Girls” still feels more like a thriller than it does an urban fantasy. The mystery at the heart of the show is always viewed through a forensic lens, much like the HBO adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Outsider.” Kirby and her friend Dan (Wagner Moura) slowly uncover layers of intrigue while navigating danger at every turn, dodging a murderous blade as it cuts through victims and time itself.
Executive Produced by Elisabeth Moss and Leonardo DiCaprio, the series debut of “Shining Girls” premieres Friday, April 29 on Apple TV+.
