Steven Knight is seemingly the busiest man in TV as no sooner has his new BBC show “This Town” hit screens than the writer's new espionage thriller, “The Veil”, arrives on Hulu. Episodes begin on Tuesday, April 30.
"The Veil" will premiere on Hulu at 12.01 a.m. ET/PT April 30.
• U.S. — Watch on Hulu
• International — Disney Plus
No stranger to Hulu audiences after leading "The Handmaid’s Tale" for the better part of a decade, Elisabeth Moss takes on the role of Imogen Salter, a chameleon like MI6 agent tasked with getting close to suspected ISIS commander Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan).
Adilah holds information that could save (or destroy) thousands of lives, and in an epic globe-trotting journey that takes the pair from Syria to Paris, the two women treat secrets as currency, entering into a fragile alliance and perhaps even a burgeoning friendship. Meanwhile, both the CIA and the DGSE vie for control of the situation, commencing their own game of espionage as the outside threat increases.
Other cast members include Dali Benssalah as Malik, Imogen’s DGSE contact, Josh Charles as Max, his CIA counterpart and "The Following" star James Purefoy as Sir Michael Althorp. Meanwhile, director Damon Thomas is familiar with taught, female led, double crossing espionage having helmed multiple episodes of "Killing Eve".
