FX
Steven Knight is everywhere currently. He's directing the Peaky Blinders movie for Netflix, and he has another project, House of Guinness, which will be going into production for the streaming service next year. He's got a Shakespeare project in the works for the BBC; This Town, which is heading to air in the U.K. soon; A Thousand Blows, which will be coming to Hulu; and SAS Rogue Heroes Season 2, which hopefully will help Amazon pull MGM+ out of obscurity. But before all of that, he has The Veil, the FX series starring Elisabeth Moss as an MI-6 spy.
The story centers around two women on a road trip from Istanbul to Paris and London, using the old Silk Road trails. One of them, Moss, is a master of undercover work, Imogen Salter, whose American liaison, CIA officer Max (Josh Charles), wants her to ferret out a secret carried by Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan). The drive from Istanbul to London via Paris is ~30 hours, give or take (traffic willing), and passes through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, and Germany before heading into France and onto the U.K. across the channel.
But the cat and mouse game they play is far more deadly than any other driving game one might latch onto to pass the time. Check out the trailer.
The synopsis for The Veil is as follows:
FX’s The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London. One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. In the shadows, mission controllers at the CIA and French DGSE must put differences aside and work together to avert potential disaster.
The series stars American actors Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Josh Charles (The Good Wife), Lebanese actor Yumna Marwan (Little Birds), and French Dali Benssalah (No Time To Die). Knight and Moss executive produce the series alongside Di Novi Pictures’ Denise Di Novi.
The Veil debuts on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, exclusively on Hulu under the FX banner with two episodes, one a week to follow.
