Elisabeth Moss on All That Smoking in ‘The Veil’ Premiere, and the Spy Thriller’s Pivotal Scene That Sets Up What’s to Come


Elisabeth Moss and Denise Di Novi dissect the premiere of 'The Veil,' FX's new spy thriller from 'Peaky Blinders' creator Steven Knight.

In the new series from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight, Moss plays a woman named (for now) Imogen Salter, an undercover MI6 spy who is tasked with doing what the age of technological surveillance and espionage can’t do: use human intuition and skill to get information out of a target. Working with Malik (Dali Benssalah), a French DGSE (Directorate-General for External Security) agent back in Paris, Imogen poses as an NGO worker to break Adilah out of the camp and earn her trust, all in the hopes of getting information from her about a rumored ISIS plot to detonate a bomb in a major American city in a week. Imogen is taking a risk moving Adliah while still investigating whether this woman is a young mother caught in a case of mistaken identity, or an influential leader being given the chance to carry out a devastating attack.
