A twisty new thriller is coming to Apple TV on Wednesday, March 18. Imperfect Women, which stars Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, and Kate Mara, is adapted from Araminta Hall‘s book of the same name.
The show mostly stays true to the story that unfolds in Hall’s book, but show creator Annie Weisman revealed to TV Insider where she took some liberties in creating a version for television.
