Ryan Murphy‘s new thriller series, The Beauty, has just got its release date, as well as some first look imagery. The series’ cast is also pretty spectacular featuring Evan Peters, as well as the queer talents Jeremy Pope and Lux Pascal.
On Wednesday (3 December) Disney announced that the FX series would premiere on the platform on Thursday 22 January 2026.
The first three episodes of the 11-part series will premiere then, with subsequent episodes airing every Thursday. The final two weeks of the show’s run will each see two episodes debut.
Based on the comic book series written by Haun and Jason A. Hurley, The Beauty will follow FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) as they’re sent to Paris to uncover the truth behind the gruesome deaths of a number of international supermodels.
“As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences,” a synopsis reads.
It continues, “Their path leads them directly into the crosshairs of The Corporation (Ashton Kutcher), a shadowy tech billionaire who has secretly engineered a miracle drug dubbed ‘The Beauty,’ and who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire – including unleashing his lethal enforcer, “The Assassin” (Anthony Ramos).
“As the epidemic spreads, Jeremy (Pope), a desperate outsider, is caught in the chaos, searching for purpose as the agents race across Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York to stop a threat that could alter the future of humanity.”
The series also boasts a stunning array of guest stars including Lux Pascal, the sister of Pedro Pascal. Bella Hadid, Ben Platt, Billy Eichner, Isabella Rossellini, Meghan Trainor, and more are also featuring.
Murphy has created and written the show with Matthew Hodgson with both men acting as executive producers. Stars Peters, Ramos, Pope are also producing.
Murphy’s latest series to air, All’s Fair, was panned by critics, with many taking aim at Kim Kardashian’s acting. However, the series was a hit with audiences and has gone on to be renewed for a second season.
