You’ll have to wait a bit longer for the final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” but Elisabeth Moss will be back on your TV soon enough. “The Veil,” the Emmy winner’s new FX limited series, will premiere on Tuesday, April 30 on Hulu with two episodes, the network announced Friday ahead of its presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

Created by Steven Knight, the espionage thriller stars Moss as Imogen Salter, an MI6 agent who transports a woman, Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan), who may or may not be an ISIS commander, from Istanbul to Paris and London. Their road trip becomes a deadly game of true and lies as Imogen tries to determine Adilah’s identity and motives — all while the CIA and French DGSE try to work together to forestall a global disaster. Dali Benssalah plays Malik, a French agent and Imogen’s love interest, and Josh Charles plays Max Peterson, a CIA honcho dispatched to Paris to oversee the mission.

Knight and Moss serve as executive producers alongside Denise Di Novi. Moss has been absent from the small screen since 2022, when Season 5 of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and her Apple TV+ limited series “Shining Girls” aired. The sixth and final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” starts filming this summer for a 2025 release.

“The Veil” consists of six episodes and will drop new episodes every Tuesday following its two-episode premiere. It will conclude on May 28, making it eligible for the Emmys later this year. However, despite “The Veil” being billed as limited series, the creative team is very opening to continuing the story of Imogen Salter.

“There’s so much change and there’s such an incredible arc to her throughout the season, which obviously is something that as an actor, you always value so much,” Moss said during the show’s panel. “To the last five minutes of episode 6, our finale, I mean, you are just continuing to discover more about this woman, so I felt that we’ve just kind of scratched the surface of who she is in such an exciting way.”
