FX & Ryan Murphy Reunite for New Series Based on Controversial Horror Comic

by

As a seasoned cinema devotee with a penchant for delving into the intricacies of the small screen, I find myself both excited and apprehensive about FX’s latest project, “The Beauty.” Having been captivated by Ryan Murphy‘s unique storytelling prowess in shows like “American Horror Story” and “Pose,” I eagerly await the reunion of Murphy with Sarah Paulson. Her stellar performance in “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” was a testament to her versatility, earning her well-deserved accolades.

FX has officially announced that they will be launching a new project from renowned creator Ryan Murphy. This upcoming TV series is titled “The Beauty”, an adaptation of the 2016 graphic novel by Image Comics artists Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. As reported by THR, while FX, one of Disney’s adult-oriented content branches, hasn’t set a release date yet, production is expected to start in the fall. The star-studded cast for “The Beauty” includes Anthony Ramos, Ashton Kutcher, and Jeremy Pope. However, specific roles have not been disclosed as of now. Both Pope and Peters are familiar faces in Murphy’s work, while Ramos and Kutcher are new additions to the expansive world of Murphy’s exceptional knack for creating American anthologies.

In the upcoming project, Peters is set to collaborate once more with producer Murphy – a partnership that blossomed during their time on multiple seasons of “American Horror Story” and “Pose”. Notably, this collaboration comes following the success of “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”, one of Murphy’s most acclaimed Netflix productions. In this endeavor, Peters’ acting skills were highly lauded, earning him a Golden Globe award for his exceptional performance.

In a twist of dystopian sci-fi comics, the story unfolds around two investigators, Foster and Vaughn, who are grappling with an enigmatic conundrum. The contemporary era is grappling with the repercussions of a sexually transmitted disease that enhances attractiveness. This virus has rapidly infected many, yet unraveling its origin becomes a pressing priority for our detectives. However, as beauty obsession permeates society, halting this phenomenon proves to be a challenging feat.

The executive producers for this series are led by Murphy, with Matthew Hodgson sharing the role of showrunner alongside him. Also included are Peters, Ramos, Pope, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, and Scott Robertson, along with several other individuals.

Ryan Murphy’s Latest Project Has Been the Subject of Controversy & Criticism

Despite Ryan Murphy being associated predominantly with Netflix due to his successful TV series, he has consistently collaborated with FX as well. Notable shows like “American Horror Story” and its various seasons have cemented Murphy’s fame on television. Often returning to the studio that fostered his growth, Murphy created shows such as “Glee,” “Nip/Tuck,” and “Scream Queens.” However, a significant shift occurred in 2018 with a substantial financial agreement and increased creative autonomy. This transition led to the creation of shows like “Ratched,” “Hollywood,” “Halston,” and “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” for the streaming platform bearing the large, red “N.

The latest production by him, titled “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story“, showcases his distinctive approach to true crime. Since its release a few days ago, it has amassed millions of views. However, the series has also faced significant backlash, with one of the main subjects, Erik Menendez, labeling it as “awful and flagrant untruths.” Given the content in “The Beauty“, it seems Ryan Murphy won’t be steering clear from controversy any time soon.
