Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind acclaimed series like 'American Horror Story' and 'Glee,' is back with another riveting creation – this time with a dark twist on the world of high fashion.

Following the premiere, the series will continue to unravel weekly on Wednesdays, maintaining the same timeslot, with back-to-back episodes in its climactic final weeks.

A Starry Ensemble Cast

The show boasts an impressive lineup of guest stars, making it a must-watch for fans of celebrity cameos. Confirmed appearances include Amelia Gray Hamlin, Bella Hadid, Ben Platt, and Billy Eichner. Fashion icon Isabella Rossellini and model Bella Hadid were already on fans' radars, but newly announced names like Ari Graynor and Meghan Trainor add an extra layer of anticipation.

“It's a thrilling ride through the glitzy yet perilous fashion world,” said a source close to the production.

With such a diverse and talented ensemble, 'The Beauty' is poised to capture viewers' attention and keep them guessing.

A Plot Steeped in Intrigue

The plot centers around the mysterious deaths of international supermodels, leading FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) on a high-stakes investigation. Their pursuit takes them across iconic cities like Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York, all while uncovering a sinister secret threatening global consequences.

As they unravel a web of deception, the agents encounter The Corporation, led by Ashton Kutcher as a shadowy tech mogul, and his deadly enforcer, The Assassin, portrayed by Anthony Ramos. The series asks provocative questions about the price of perfection, making it both a feast for the eyes and a thought-provoking watch.

Behind the Scenes

'The Beauty' is not just another TV show – it’s a collaborative endeavor created and written by Ryan Murphy and Matthew Hodgson. The duo, along with a talented team of executive producers like Eric Kovtun and Nissa Diederich, bring this comic book adaptation to life. Based on the works of Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, who also consult on the series, 'The Beauty' promises to deliver Murphy's signature blend of glamour, intrigue, and edge-of-your-seat storytelling.
