Where to Watch Imperfect Women in the UAE — Elisabeth Moss & Kerry Washington's Thriller on Apple TV+

Quick Answer: Imperfect Women is streaming on Apple TV+ in the UAE. The 8-episode limited series premiered on 18 March 2026, with new episodes every Wednesday. Apple TV+ costs AED 20/month.

Elisabeth Moss and Kerry Washington in the same show should be illegal — that's too much acting talent per square metre of screen. Add Kate Mara, a murder mystery, and the kind of friendships where everyone's hiding something truly awful, and you've got Apple TV+'s latest attempt to ruin your sleep schedule on a Wednesday night. Based on Araminta Hall's novel, this one's less whodunit and more "who did everyone wrong." Here's how to watch it in the UAE.

In the UAE, Imperfect Women is streaming on Apple TV+ from 18 March 2026, with new episodes every Wednesday through 29 April.

Is Imperfect Women Free to Watch?

Not free, but Apple TV+ offers a 7-day free trial. At AED 20/month, Apple TV+ is the cheapest major streaming platform in the UAE. If you time it right, you could start the trial now and watch every available episode before paying a dirham. Even without the trial, AED 20 for eight episodes of this cast is a bargain — that's AED 2.50 per episode of Emmy-winning talent pretending to be terrible friends.

What Is Imperfect Women About?

Three best friends' seemingly perfect lives unravel when one of them is found murdered. Based on Araminta Hall's 2020 novel of the same name, the series follows Mary (Elisabeth Moss), Eleanor (Kerry Washington), and Nancy (Kate Mara) — women whose decades-long friendship is built on secrets, compromises, and the kind of loyalty that might actually be toxic.

When Nancy is killed, the investigation led by Detective Ganz (Ana Ortiz) forces Mary and Eleanor to confront uncomfortable truths about their friend, their marriages, and themselves. Eleanor's affair with Robert (Joel Kinnaman) and Mary's complicated relationship with Howard (Corey Stoll) are just the surface. The series is less interested in solving the murder than in dissecting what these women were willing to overlook to keep the friendship alive.

Created for television by Annie Weisman and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland), the series has drawn mixed reviews — 42% on Rotten Tomatoes — though Variety called it "an outstanding mystery thriller bolstered by resounding lead performances." It's divisive, but the performances are undeniably magnetic.

How Many Episodes Does Imperfect Women Have?

Imperfect Women has 8 episodes. The first two premiered on 18 March 2026, with new episodes dropping weekly on Wednesdays. Each episode runs approximately 50 minutes. The series finale airs on 29 April 2026. This is a limited series — there are no plans for a second season.

Imperfect Women Cast

Three Emmy winners in the same frame feels like an awards ceremony that accidentally became a TV show. Elisabeth Moss brings her patented "barely holding it together" energy, Kerry Washington is doing that thing where she's simultaneously the most composed and most dangerous person in the room, and Kate Mara has the hardest job — making you care about someone who's already dead. Joel Kinnaman as the questionable husband and Corey Stoll as the other questionable husband round out what might be the most impressive "bad decisions" ensemble since Big Little Lies.
