Daniel Fienberg The shift to a backloaded schedule built around a May 31 deadline for Emmy consideration has drained some of the surprise from the spring TV calendar. Viewers are growing accustomed to a glut of high-profile limited series and prestige returning shows from March to May, with the biggest titles and stars creating their own gravitational fields of self-perpetuating coverage.
Luckily, though, there’s still room for discovery. With its literary pedigree and a budget that burst off the screen in the form of astonishing evocations of 17th century Japan, FX’s Shogun had “prestige” written all over it. Yet the care taken by creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo to deliver this story without having it reek of appropriation and voyeurism was evident throughout. Still, who would have guessed that Shogun would be so successful that the network would want to push forward with future seasons beyond James Clavell’s novel,...

A memorable six-episode event, The Veil took viewers through the icy mountains and lively city streets, avoiding gunfire and hijacking big-rig trucks.
What started as a simple reconnaissance mission to obtain necessary information turned into a life-and-death mission to find the truth by examining the past.
Imogen and Adilah were two women with very different backgrounds who found kindred spirits and an unlikely bond in one another.
Even though their adventure together had its ups and downs, the roughest parts came during the series finale.
With only six episodes, it's a wonder the miniseries packed so much in, but we will do our best to unpack the ending of this dramatic thriller series.
A Forced Finale of Terrorists' Terrible Timing and Intelligence Nowhere in Sight
The main issue during The Veil's first and currently only season was the threat of an explosive on board a boat headed to an American port.

The Veil has come to an end with an action-packed finale. The FX and Hulu series, that follows MI6 spy, Imogen Salter, forming a friendship with her target, Adilah, went on for six episodes, garnering a huge following along the way.
As Imogen’s mission has reached its conclusion with a bittersweet ending, fans can’t help but wonder if the spy will be heading out on another adventure in the future. So is The Veil coming back with season 2? Here is everything we know so far.

How does an aspiring model who came to Paris hoping to make it big end up in a refugee camp? Well, that’s the story of Adilah in Stephen Knight’s wonderfully written political thriller, The Veil. When Adilah tries to distribute food bags amongst refugees, one woman identifies her as an Isis militant and calls her a “daesh” (the radical Sunni Muslim Organization). Adilah is dragged into the middle of a raging mob of women who have lost their husbands and children, and Un officials save her before she gets stomped to death. Now Adilah sits in a secluded tent being watched, while the Dgse, CIA, and Mi-6 all want her, suspecting she’s a high-ranking Isis commander, ‘Djinn al Raqqah.’
Spoilers Ahead
Why did Adilah trust Imogen?
Adilah got stranded with no help from anyone, and she could be killed by any one of the thousands of refugees in the camp.

FX’s spy thriller series The Veil comes to a conclusion this week with an intense but slightly unconvincing episode 6, as some serious revelations are made. Imogen had earlier managed to extract Adilah’s daughter Yasmina from Paris, as she wanted to reunite the girl and her mother, on the condition that Adilah would tell her the name of the ship carrying the bomb to America. On the other side, the French and American agencies, the Dgse, and the CIA, respectively, immediately respond to their main target, the Djinn of Al Raqqa, once again becoming fugitive with the help of the MI6 agent. Overall, The Veil had been hinting at a very personal storyline to take precedence, even though we were shown very little of it, and ultimately, it is indeed Imogen’s personal past that takes over in the end.

Welp. The finale for The Veil has come with more questions and gone without answering a single one of them.
It was clear from the beginning that Imogen and Adilah were set for a rocky fate, but The Veil Season 1 Episode 6 ensured an ending that would change both women's lives.
Truthfully, this one left quite a bit to be desired as far as series finales go. The six-episode series set up a plot that required far more episodes and possibly another season.
With so much buildup and excitement generated by the series' promos and trailers, the show delivered a lackluster amount of action.
This last episode, in particular, was lacking quite a bit, not just in action but also in dialogue.
Compared to the rest of the season, the characters spent more time walking around empty spaces contemplating than they did actually speaking or doing anything.

The tension and stakes have indeed been turned up to max volume in The Veil Season 1 Episode 5.
It took about five episodes to get there, but audiences are finally feeling things come to a head in the latest episode.
Any hope for Imogen and Adilah's budding friendship is just about dashed without the episode starting with Adilah taking off while Imogen slept.
We can't blame her, though. Things took a turn for the very real and dangerous at the end of The Veil Season 1 Episode 4 when the women came under fire after Imogen found Adilah and Emir chit-chatting.
It wasn't clear who exactly was doing the shooting as it could've easily been either the French or American intelligence agencies.
Since neither tried to apprehend Imogen or Adilah at the women's apartment, it's safe to say the assailants are likely terrorists or at least terrorist associates.
As if things weren't dire enough with Adilah sneaking out,...

Elisabeth Moss is definitely dressed for sartorial success as MI6 agent Imogen Salter in Stephen Knight’s spy thriller “The Veil” (currently streaming on FX). The chameleon-like spy, who travels from Istanbul to Paris to London with suspected Isis terrorist Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan), sports an array of designer clothes suitable for every inconspicuous or dangerous situation. This provided costume designer Anthony Unwin (“Shoshana”) the perfect opportunity to be stylishly creative.
“The Veil” establishes a strong silhouette for the introduction of Imogene as she springs a trap on an unsuspecting enemy spy at the airport. “It was very much about creating this image in the silhouette that was quite powerful,” Unwin told IndieWire. “I used Alexander McQueen shoulders with the jacket and Jimmy Choo patent leather shoes. And then a silk Joseph blouse underneath that and pencil skirt. I was kind of creating the character from that with [mostly] British brands.

It's safe to say that the wheels on Imogen and Adilah's tenuous friendship are just about ready to fall off in The Veil Season 1 Episode 4.
However, the show finally delivered some long-awaited action that was previewed in the series' initial trailer. While it was expected that the show would need to lay some groundwork and world-building, it was a surprise that it would take four episodes to get to some real action.
That being said, it has been nice to see the bond between Imogen and Adilah grow, even though it's apparent that theirs is a fate destined for far more rockier times.
At this point, it's tough to determine where everyone's loyalties lie. While everyone is undoubtedly working to stop whatever terrorist attack is underway, it seems more like each intelligence branch is simply trying to outdo the other.
Things are looking particularly interesting for Imogen as she subtly...

The Veil Ep1 S3 Ending Explained: Is Imogen Working for the American? ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
HBO’s latest mini-series, The Veil, is a tight thriller with themes of espionage and international crime and operations. With Elizabeth Moss as the protagonist Imogen who is hell bent on proving that Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan) is actually Djinn al Raqqa of Isis, who is planning a huge attack on the US, the series has already shown how the former has rescued Adilah from the camp she was held captive in. The two then took a detour and eventually, Imogen decided to take Adilah to Paris to reunite her with her daughter. After the DNA test conducted by the American intelligence, Imogen’s superiors are convinced that Adilah is not the fierce Isis leader they are looking for. However, Imogen does not believe it, and this week’s episode proves that she’s not wrong.

Some of the greatest comedic actors in Hollywood are known best for their un-shying and generous humor with Robin Williams standing on a pedestal above them all.

No matter how serious the mood, Williams always had a way to bring back the smiles on people’s faces.

Elisabeth Moss recently appeared on Kelly Ripa’s “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast while promoting her new FX series “The Veil” and reflected on the “intimidating” but exhilarating set of James Mangold’s 1999 drama “Girl, Interrupted.” Moss was around 15 years old when she shot the movie and starred as Polly “Torch” Clark, a burn victim who suffers from schizophrenia. The cast was headlined by Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, the latter of whom won an Oscar for her performance. Because of the tension that exists between their two characters, Moss said the film set became naturally divided into two camps.
“There were two kinds of camps. There was the Winona Ryder camp and the Angelina Jolie camp. … Off camera, but based on what was on camera, based on the script,” Moss said. “I was in the Winona Ryder camp. The Angelina Jolie camp was really cool. I was intimidated by the Angelina Jolie camp.

“The Veil” — Pictured: Elisabeth Moss as Imogen Salter. Cr: FX Copyright 2024, FX All Rights Reserved Elisabeth Moss plays an undercover British spy in the new series The Veil, on which she’s also an executive producer. While her father was British, Moss was raised in Los Angeles, and she’s said that adopting a British accent for the series was a big challenge. It wasn’t, however, the biggest challenge she faced. In a series that packs its fair share of action sequences — it is a spy thriller, after all — Moss spoke about how she needed to learn how to pack a punch, as well. (Click on the media bar below to hear Elisabeth Moss) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ELizabeth_Moss_The_Veilt_trianing_Stunts_.mp3 The Veil is currently streaming on Hulu.

It's 2024 and one of the best British television personalities, Steven Knight, is in business like never before! Yes, admittedly, his projects these days are not as critically acclaimed as Peaky Blinders, but they always boast a high level of production and, of course, an excellent cast, which has never been wrong with Knight's TV series.
Last year's All the Light We Cannot See delighted us with the talent of young actors like Louis Hofmann and Aria Mia Loberti, as well as Hollywood colossi Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo, while this March the BBC released This Town, led by the excellent British cast of Levi Brown, Jordan Bolger, Ben Rose and Eve Austin.
And the star of the new series, which is now streaming on Hulu, is none other than Elisabeth Moss, along with other equally stellar cast members that we will talk about below. Although the show has failed to impress critics so far,...

As Imogen Salter would say, "The best lies are mostly true," and that couldn't ring anymore accurately in The Veil Season 1 Episode 3.
Having finally made it to Paris, Adilah is reunited with her daughter. However, the smiles and hugs are short-lived as Imogen is still determined to prove her travel companion is the high-ranking Isis commander that everyone believes Adilah to be.
Though viewers are meant to question Adilah's actions and everything she says, Imogen continues to show that she has just as many, if not more, secrets.
Perhaps these two women have found kindred spirits in each other, but their bond seems tenuous at best since neither trusts the other beyond what they need from one another.
Malik: So, what is this woman like?
Imogen: There's something intangible about her. Can't name.
Malik: Sounds like someone I know.
Imogen: Even though we're lying to each other, I feel...

Some celebrities have a big name that fans immediately recognize. Others have less of a reputation but just as much talent.
Josh Charles is a mildly successful actor with over forty credits in his portfolio. His career has spanned movies and TV series since the 1980s. While most of his work is lesser known, he's had a few breakthrough roles fans love.
Despite rarely being the main star, Charles has stayed relevant on screen, from his most known character in The Good Wife to his newest endeavor, FX's The Veil. Some of his earlier work should be on everyone's must-watch list.
Josh Charles started his acting career as a supporting character in the 1980s version of Hairspray. A year later, he scored his breakout role alongside Robin Williams -- one of the greatest actors of the time -- in Dead Poet's Society.

Elisabeth Moss fully committed to one of her earliest roles in Oscar-winning film “Girl, Interrupted.” So was the prosthetics team.
The future “Mad Men” star Moss was so unrecognizable in her prosthetics, even the film crew believed she was an actual burn victim, Moss said during the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast. In the 1999 film, a teenage Moss played Polly “Torch” Clark, a girl with schizophrenia who ended up with facial scars after getting caught in a fire.
Moss’s facial prosthetics would take “about three hours every morning,” she said. Due to how long the process took, Moss would wear the prosthetics even when the cameras weren’t rolling.
“I would forget that I had [the prosthetics] on,” she said. “You wouldn’t take it off at lunch or anything. I would go with [co-star] Winona [Ryder], because we became kind of good friends, I would go with...

“Hacks” is back — and better than ever! Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the Max comedy’s triumphant return and Emmy hopes.
After missing eligibility last year, “Hacks” dropped the first two episodes of its nine-episode third season on Thursday. While the show has also skipped a year in the narrative with a one-year time jump, it has not skipped a beat in quality. The jokes are still hilarious, the season-long storyline clicks, and Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are on fire. But will Emmy voters embrace the show again?

Were Justified Stars Not Speaking by End of Series? Timothy Olyphant, Walton Goggins Each Share POVs
Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder “dug coal together,” but by the end of Justified‘s six-season run, Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins weren’t exchanging many words together — to hear at least one of the actors tell it.
In Peter Biskind’s November 2023 book, Pandora’s Box How Guts, Guile, and Greed Upended TV, Goggins is quoted as saying that he and Olyphant “weren’t talking” by the end of Justified’s run.

Hulu’s The Veil is a spy drama full of intense action and international intrigue. As such, it filmed all over the world, with location shoots taking place in Paris, London and other far-flung locales.
Which is how Yumna Marwan (Sky’s Little Birds), who stars opposite Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) in the limited series and who was a new mom at the time of filming, found herself using a breast pump on a frigid day of shooting in a snowy region of Turkey.

"The Queen of Peak TV" strikes again.

Elisabeth Moss's streak of delivering must-see TV is at an all-time high with this thriller series. There is almost no doing justice to how incredibly crafted this story is.
Even with the bar set to stratospheric, The Veil exceeded expectations by introducing audiences to the presence that is Imogen Salter.
Tomas: Everything will be completed once we get to Berlin and you have been invaluable.
Imogen: Thank you, Tomas. I don't think you'll feel the same in a moment when Interpol arrives, though.

It’s rare to find a star whose taste you can trust beyond their performance; the kind of actor who’s proven to be as discerning in their projects’ quality as they are in choosing rewarding individual roles. There simply aren’t that many Julia Louis-Dreyfuses or Carrie Coons out there, with either impeccable résumés or a Hall of Fame-worthy batting average. But Elisabeth Moss is among them.
As a TV lead, she’s steered some of the modern era’s greatest programs: seven masterful seasons of “Mad Men,” two staggering seasons of “Top of the Lake,” one stirring season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” (and a few more she carried on her back). Even her single misfire is minor: The 2022 Apple TV+ series “Shining Girls” is more intriguing and better than its (lack of) recognition. Plus, it arrived amid a smattering of strong film work that befit her premium brand.

In FX’s gripping new miniseries “The Veil,” right versus wrong isn’t a straightforward calculation, and truth is more confounding than it seems. The action series follows cunning MI6 agent Imogen Salter (a captivating Elisabeth Moss), whose ability to assume a new identity in the blink of an eye makes her a singular asset for the most challenging missions. When Imogen is tasked with extricating a woman named Adilah El Idrissi (an outstanding Yumna Marwan) from a Turkish/Syrian refugee camp and enticing her to disclose her secrets, the spy finds herself analyzing her own moral code and a past shrouded in riddles. Exciting and astonishing, “The Veil” beautifully balances stunt-filled escapades and a rich narrative.
Though the series will take its audience on a journey to Turkey, through Paris, and into London, the story begins amid chaos. In the snow-covered refugee camp during a disorganized food drop, Adilah...

May is the traditionally the first month for summer blockbusters to start making their way into theaters, and while titles like “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” will bow in cinemas this month, the release schedule is certainly lacking compared to years past.

If you've been along for the wild ride that has been Elisabeth Moss' prolific television career over the last two decades, then you probably recognize these quotes from two of her well-known shows.
If not, then you've come to the right place for a crash course in the "Queen of Peak TV." And while Vulture absolutely nailed it with that moniker, they left out the fact that she has a well-established film career.
Luckily, we haven't missed that important fact.
Seriously. The list of films and television shows that Elisabeth Moss has been in spans further than some of our readers' lifetimes.
Her agelessness is right up there with Paul Rudd and Halle Berry.

Before making your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress, take a tour of our photo gallery that highlights the leading contenders. Currently in the frontrunner position is Jodie Foster (“True Detective: Night Country”), who has yet to even be nominated for an acting Emmy at this point in her 55-year career.
Foster would be the first actress to receive an Emmy mention for “True Detective,” which has produced four seasons over the past decade. Its previous three acting notices went to inaugural season costars Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey (who competed for Best Drama Actor in 2014) and third season lead Mahershala Ali (2019).
Hoping to soon achieve second wins in this category are Claire Danes (“Full Circle”; formerly of “Temple Grandin”), Kate Winslet (“The Regime”; “Mildred Pierce” and “Mare of Easttown”), Julianne Moore (“Mary & George”; “Game Change”), Nicole Kidman (“Expats”; “Big Little Lies”), and Amanda Seyfried (“The Crowded Room...

Next week, audiences will have a new thriller to savor when The Veil‘s first two episodes hit Hulu. The show looks to offer some more thrilling drama work from its highly decorated lead Elisabeth Moss, including a convincing British accent, some intense fighting sequences (at least one stunt caused Moss to fracture two of her vertebrae), and a chameleonic array of character faces. But is this new international spy series based on a true story? Here’s a look at what we know about the show so far. Is The Veil based on a true story? While some elements of the story are certainly plucked from real life — for example, Western worries about the potential for terrorist attacks and inter-agency disagreements — The Veil is an original story written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders). So no, it is not based on a true story. The concept, however, came from executive producer Denise Di Novi,...
