A chilling new thriller, “The Beauty,” is poised to captivate audiences, with a premiere date now set for January 22, 2026. The series promises a dark and twisting narrative, unfolding across the glamorous yet dangerous landscapes of Europe and America.
The story centers on FBI Agents Cooper Madsen, portrayed by Evan Peters, and Jordan Bennett, played by Rebecca Hall, dispatched to Paris to investigate a series of horrifying deaths within the international modeling world. What begins as a hunt for a killer quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
Their investigation uncovers a terrifying secret: a sexually transmitted virus that doesn’t kill, but *transforms* its victims into embodiments of flawless physical perfection. This beauty, however, comes at a devastating and terrifying cost.
At the heart of the mystery lies “The Corporation,” a tech billionaire played by Ashton Kutcher, who has engineered this phenomenon with a miracle drug simply called “The Beauty.” He’s built a trillion-dollar empire on this promise, and will stop at nothing to protect it.
Standing in his way are Madsen and Bennett, who find themselves pursued by “The Assassin” (Anthony Ramos), a ruthless enforcer dedicated to safeguarding The Corporation’s secrets. The stakes escalate with each revelation, threatening to unravel the very fabric of society.
As the virus spreads, the agents’ desperate race against time takes them from the romantic canals of Venice to the ancient streets of Rome and the bustling energy of New York City. Caught in the chaos is Jeremy, played by Jeremy Pope, a man searching for meaning amidst the unfolding epidemic.
The series, based on the comic book by Haun and Jason A. Hurley, boasts a remarkable ensemble cast. Among the guest stars is Lux Pascal, sister of Pedro Pascal, alongside Bella Hadid, Ben Platt, Billy Eichner, Isabella Rossellini, and Meghan Trainor.
Created and written by Ryan Murphy, alongside Matthew Hodgson, “The Beauty” promises a visually stunning and emotionally gripping experience. The series is produced by Murphy, Hodgson, Peters, Ramos, and Pope, ensuring a collaborative and passionate vision.
The premiere will launch with three episodes, followed by weekly releases every Thursday. The final two weeks will feature double episodes, intensifying the suspense and driving towards a climactic conclusion.
