The new Apple TV+ series Imperfect Women, which premiered its first two episodes on March 18, 2026, is based on the novel of the same name by Araminta Hall. The series features a star-studded cast including Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, and Kate Mara.

Imperfect Women follows the lives of three women who have been friends for decades. The narrative begins in the aftermath of a tragic event—the murder of one of the main characters, Nancy. This crime serves as a catalyst that ultimately tears the group apart.

The series consists of eight episodes, with the final episode scheduled to air on April 29, 2026. Each episode is told from the perspective of different characters, allowing viewers to gain insight into their complex relationships and the strains of class that affect their lives.

Critics have noted that the show is reminiscent of Big Little Lies, exploring themes of female friendships and the intricacies that come with them. The narrative structure rewinds back in time, providing context to the events leading up to Nancy’s murder.
