The Veil's lead, Elisabeth Moss, has discussed the momentous disclosure that happened in the series finale and the effects it has on Imogen as well as the reasons behind its great relevance. The last episode of the thriller series centers on Imogen's effort to gather information from Adilah and stop an impending ISIS bombing in the United States. At the end, Adilah dies and the show's heroine discovers her father is still alive and closely monitoring her from a distance. The Veil's characters collide, though.
The Veil's shocking ending, which shows Imogen's father is still alive and has been watching her this entire time, was explained by moss and producer Denise Di Novi. The primary actor underlined the tension her character encounters with this insight as well as the other issues she needs to find answers for. The comments of Moss and Di Novi are listed below:
Though the main story of the terrorist threat is now closed, the show's disclosure that Imogen's father is alive lays the framework for an interesting follow-up. With her currently focused on repressing her emotions of being anything more than a government tool, the MI6 agent's sad history largely concerns her father's abduction. Knowing he's been alive all these time, her future story could enable her to face that history in a way that starts to alter her character.
The Veil was labeled as a miniseries and received mixed reviews, however if it gains popularity enough it could go into season 2. FX's plans to create seasons 2 and 3 of Shōgun, another show sold as a limited series this year, support this. The cliffhanger season 1 of the thriller also makes it evident that Imogen's story has much more to tell. Her father's comeback could lead to a whole fresh plot she has to look at, maybe even a global threat she has to deal with.
Moss: That sequence was exactly everything, oh my God. Given the lot of activity in the sequence, I relished performing it. First of all, you have discovered that your father is alive—good news since you have spent many years grieving his death. Though it is shortly followed by the betrayal of the truth that he has been alive and pursuing her, there is still pleasure and contentment there. Not a part of her life, seeing her from a distance. In one moment, then, you have these very large, quite Shakespeareful stakes at hand.
Moss: I believe it drives her rather than releases her or lessens her burden. Now that she is discovering this side of her life she did not know about, I believe it gives her a whole fresh reason for living. And respond to that inquiry regarding his motivation for doing it. Though that is a part of her character, I believe it sparks her. She isn't a character that truly backs off.
The Veil by FX explores the unexpected and tense link between two women engaged in a dangerous game of truth and lies on the route from Istanbul to Paris and London. One lady conceals a secret; the other is on a mission to expose it before hundreds of deaths occur. Task controllers from the CIA and French DGSE have to set aside their disagreements in the shadows and cooperate to stop a possible catastrophe.
Popular among spectators, the show received great marks from critics. Thanks to the success, the showrunners will present a fresh season—The Veil. The program promises to enthrall viewers with its interesting mix of intrigue, espionage, and action.
Di Novi: It's interesting in a way and marks a fresh chapter to maybe locate him or figure it out. She shows it on her face at the end, heading to Athens. She is aiming for that rather precisely.
Moss: Knowing that she was right brings gratification. Because I believe she was constantly aware of things being off. She sensed, always, that she was being misled about something. She so gets great gratification in what she discovers.
