Disney’s FX has announced that it has ordered a new limited thriller series, “The Veil”, from Steven Knight and starring Emmy Award winner Elisabeth Moss.

This gripping thriller 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.

Nick Grad, President, Original Programming FX said in a statement:

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Steven Knight on The Veil and thrilled to have Elisabeth Moss sign on for the lead role. Steven’s scripts are riveting and no doubt will showcase Elisabeth’s exceptional talent.”

Steven Knight added:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be telling this story, which is truly international and very contemporary.  We have gathered together some of the most talented people in the business. Working with Denise Di Novi is always a pleasure and I’ve wanted to work with Elisabeth Moss for a long time. Of course, FX and I are old friends. I think this will be a landmark television event.”

Elisabeth Moss an Emmy Award, Golden Globe, SAG and PGA award-winning actor and producer best known for her acclaimed performances as “June/Offred” in Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and as “Peggy Olson” in AMC’s Mad Men. She is currently in production on Season 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale for which she will be directing three episodes.

The series is Knight’s latest project for FX, furthering a partnership that began with Taboo and continued with A Christmas Carol and his upcoming Great Expectations, starring Olivia Coleman as “Miss Havisham.” Knight is represented by CAA and United Agents – UK.

Written by Knight, the series will be executive produced by Knight alongside PatMa Productions’ Denise Di Novi and Nina Tassler, and Moss with Lindsey McManus under their Love & Squalor Pictures banner.
