Based on the graphic novel series by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, The Beauty features Ryan Murphy regular Evan Peters as one part of an FBI team that is investigating the gruesome murders of supermodels.

Another Murphy regular, Jeremy Pope, also stars with Anthony Ramos, Ashton Kutcher and Rebecca Hall.
What’s the plot of Ryan Murphy’s ‘The Beauty’?
Here’s more about the new drama:
In FX’s The Beauty, the world of high fashion turns dark 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, “Jeremy” (Jeremy Pope), a desperate outsider, is caught in the chaos, searching for purpose as the agents race across Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York 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?
