Based on Lauren Beukes’ best-selling novel, Shining Girls follows Kirby Mazrachi (Moss) as a Chicago newspaper archivist whose journalistic ambitions were put on hold after enduring a traumatic assault.

When Kirby learns that a recent murder mirrors her own case, she partners with seasoned, yet troubled reporter Dan Velazquez (played by Wagner Moura), to uncover her attacker’s identity.

As they realize these cold cases are inextricably linked, their own personal traumas and Kirby’s blurred reality allow her assailant to remain one step ahead.

In addition to Moss and Moura, the gripping drama stars Phillipa Soo, Amy Brenneman, and Jamie Bell.

Shining Girls is adapted for television and executive produced by Silka Luisa, who also serves as showrunner.
