IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DISNEY+
The long-awaited series, The Beauty, will have us glued to our screens …
Are you ready for the new international thriller from executive producer Ryan Murphy, now streaming exclusively on Disney+? FX’s The Beauty was created and written by the mastermind behind mega hit shows American Horror Story and 9-1-1 with Matthew Hodgson, the brains behind Glee and Eat Pray Love.
The series takes off when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) are sent to Paris to uncover the truth.
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. 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” – who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire – including unleashing his lethal enforcer “The Assassin” (Anthony Ramos).
As the epidemic spreads, desperate outsider Jeremy (Jeremy Pope) is caught in the chaos, searching for purpose as the agents race across the US and Europe to stop a threat that could alter the future of humanity. The Beauty is a global thriller that asks: what would you sacrifice for perfection?
The series is based on a popular comic book by Jeremy Haun and Jason A Hurley set in a world where achieving perfection means dying for it. Here’s everything you need to know before you press play, plus watch the trailer below for an idea of what to expect …
