The Beauty: A Sci-Fi Body Horror Series Starring Ashton Kutcher and Isabella Rossellini
Ryan Murphy has created a new sci-fi body horror series featuring Ashton Kutcher as a tech billionaire promoting a drug that promises physical perfection. The official trailer introduces Kutcher's character, The Corporation, who is disliked by many, including Isabella Rossellini's character, Franny Forst. The drug, known as the "beauty shot," leads to deadly consequences for those who take it.
The series also stars Anthony Ramos as The Assassin, who explains the dangers of the drug. As the drug spreads, FBI agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett are tasked with finding a cure. Meanwhile, The Corporation is focused on bringing his invention to market, despite the chaos it causes.
The show features cameos from Meghan Trainor, Ben Platt, and others, with appearances expected from Amelia Gray Hamlin, Billy Eichner, and Nicola Peltz Beckham. Based on the Image Comics series, The Beauty follows the investigation of FBI agents into a virus that transforms people into physically perfect beings with horrifying outcomes.
As the epidemic unfolds, the characters navigate a world where perfection comes at a steep price. Kutcher's character becomes increasingly erratic as the situation escalates. The series marks Kutcher's return to television after a five-year hiatus and reunites him with Murphy and Peters, who previously worked together on American Horror Story.
Peters, who recently starred in Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, expressed a desire to explore lighter roles after his intense portrayal of the serial killer. The Beauty premieres on FX and Hulu on January 21, offering a thrilling and thought-provoking look at the pursuit of perfection in a world filled with dark secrets and deadly consequences.
