Apple TV+ is dropping a limited crime series starring Emmy Award-winning Elisabeth Moss, and we can't keep calm. If you like The Handmaid's Tale and The Invisible Man and wondering where to watch the new show without spending any money, we got you! Read on to find out when, where, and how to watch Shining Girls for free on Apple TV+.

Shining Girls is based on Lauren Beukes' 2013 novel of the same name. It is about a newspaper archivist (played by Moss) who discovers that a recent murder is eerily similar to a violent assault she faced years ago. She then joins hands with a colleague, a veteran but troubled reporter, to track down the killer, confront her past, and understand her constantly changing present.

Moss plays the lead and is joined by Wagner Moura, Amy Brenneman, Phillipa Soo, Jamie Bell,
Christopher Denham, Deanna Reed-Foster, and Marc Grapey as cast. Moss and Leonardo Dicaprio are executive producers, along with showrunner Silka Luis.

Shining Girls will premiere on Friday, April 29, 2022, on Apple TV+, with the first 3 episodes debuting simultaneously. The miniseries has 8 episodes, and you can watch Shining Girls on Apple TV+ with a 7-day free trial.
