Elisabeth Moss is that one friend who is somehow staying incredibly productive in quarantine, which makes her both annoying and enviable. The rest of us are over here scrolling through cute graphics on Instagram that remind us it’s okay to be completely unproductive, hollowed out shells of our former human selves right now. “If you only moved your body to make it to the bathroom today, that’s okay!” The small comfort from this reassuring and eerily accurate platitude immediately punctured by near-weekly updates on Elisabeth Moss’ productivity and success.
KIDDING. We love Elisabeth Moss and her Gena Rowlands-esque penchant for playing unhinged/nearly-unhinged women in various excellent films and TV shows—of which there are soon to be many more. That includes, per THR, another psychological thriller that reunites Moss with Blumhouse, the studio behind The Invisible Man. Titled Mrs. March, the new thriller is based on the upcoming novel by Virginia Feito and stars Moss as “a polished Upper East Side housewife who unravels when she begins to suspect the detestable protagonist of her husband’s latest bestselling novel is based on her.” Classic Moss!
Moss will co-produce via Love & Squalor, the production company she recently launched with Lindsey McManus. Over the summer, the pair signed a first-look deal with Fox 21 and Hulu that includes a psychosexual thriller anthology series titled Black Match, in which Moss also stars. She’s additionally attached to headline the STX thriller Run Rabbit Run, and she’ll play the title role in Candy, a new true crime limited series from The Act duo Nick Antosca and Robin Veith. That series centers on Candy Montgomery, the Texas housewife who murdered her friend Betty Gore with an axe in 1980.

How many different ways can we possibly watch Elizabeth Moss suffer? I guess we’ll see!She’s really good at it so I guess that’s good. Would this make her our leading Scream Queen?
Im fine with her becoming a super scream queen.
She’s not really a Scream Queen but certainly a Stare Directly Into Camera And Make An Affected Pained Expression Queen.
Yeah, I don’t see her as a scream queen either.
She’s the Naomi Watts of the 2020s.
This summer, see Elizabeth Moss be terrified, abused, and exploited by powerful males… yet again!
I’m still waiting for a thriller where Moss plays a loyal member of a religious organization, who one day discovers she’s been living a lie, and the cause to which she has remained loyal is in fact fraudulent and dangerous.
Elizabeth Moss stars in the Leah Remini biopic?
Spoiler: The biopic ends with Remini realizing that all her fears were merely delusions caused by the thetans within her.
Weird premise. I’m not sure how a protagonist based off you would make somebody mad. I guess it depends on what they mean by detestable.
Is it weird to anyone else that we simultaneously praise Moss for all her work while mocking Cruise because of Scientology?It seems like she’s quickly replacing him as the face of the brand since we’ve all keep forgetting about it.
She’s quiet about it, unlike him.
She also was born into it, which I think gives her a little more sympathy than someone who walked into a Center one day, read Diagnostics and thought, “yep, this checks out.”
I was just about to make the joke, “With such a busy schedule, how will she find time for auditing? Those thetans aren’t gonna git rid of themselves!”It sucks because I think Moss is outstanding! I honestly even like Thomas Cruise, even when he’s being his most “Tom Cruise-est”.I’ve just read too many terrible things about Scientology to ignore the imaginary black cloud that appears whenever I see their names.
It should be mentioned in every article about her. She’s a member of a weird secretive cult religion.
