00:00Ryan Murphy's next show starring Evan Peters just landed at FX.
00:05The Disney-owned outlet has picked up a drama titled The Beauty from Ryan Murphy Productions
00:10and 20th Television. The series, which will star Peters, Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos,
00:16and Jeremy Pope, is based on a 2016 Image Comics title of the same name. That graphic novel is
00:22set in a world where a sexually transmitted disease spreads largely because it makes people
00:26more physically attractive. However, two detectives stumble on a conspiracy surrounding the disease's
00:32origins. The Beauty is set to begin production in the fall. The new series marks another collaboration
00:37between Murphy and Peters, who have worked together on American Horror Story, Pose, and the Jeffrey
00:43Dahmer-focused first season of Monster. This news follows a run of recent series debuts for Murphy,
00:48including Netflix's Monsters, The Lyle and Eric Menendez Story, ABC's Dr. Odyssey, and FX's
00:55American Sports Story, Aaron Hernandez, and Grotesquerie. Grotesquerie star Niecy Nash-Betz and
01:01Dr. Odyssey leading man Joshua Jackson both recently opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about working
01:06with Murphy. Ryan is a genius. I don't even know what happens in his mind, but grotesquerie was
01:14something that, as an artist, was a complete gift. I felt very satiated and very grateful that Ryan saw fit
01:25for me to lead the charge on this one.
01:27He's got a hell of an imagination, right, that he just keeps on coming up with these ideas,
01:32but I also just, I think that he loves television. I think that he loves long-form storytelling,
01:37and he is unusual in that he also has these two, like, really distinct pieces of himself, right? He
01:44has the very, very dark side, and then he has the lighter, sort of comedic, sometimes musical side of
01:51him, and he's able to do both with equal genius. I mean, it's pretty impressive.
