US EditionAshton Kutcher: Hollywood isn't to blame for pushing unrealistic beauty standards
- On Jan. 21, Emmy-winning actor Evan Peters stars as Cooper Madsen in Ryan Murphy's The Beauty, which premieres on FX and Hulu in the U.S.
- Adapted by Ryan Murphy and Matt Hodgson from Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley's comic, the series updates Nip/Tuck's satire to examine America's obsession with beauty, youth, and pharmaceuticals.
- The plot follows an outbreak tied to a treatment called The Beauty, which warps and kills users as FBI agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett investigate deaths in Rome and Venice.
- Peters says Murphy pitched action sequences and a complicated romance, and he relished playing that lead with Hall; practical effects and body horror will attract critical attention.
- The 11-episode first season frames the series as a topical meditation on perfection and commerce, engaging Ozempic, social media and pharmaceutical debates while echoing The Substance.
