It's time to mark your calendars because Disney+'s upcoming Ryan Murphy thriller, The Beauty, is just weeks away from its release. The show will mark Nicola Peltz Beckham's return to the small screen in over three years. The 30-year-old actress guest stars in the upcoming 11-part series, which is set in the world of high fashion and sees international supermodels start dying in gruesome and mysterious ways.
Like all Ryan Murphy shows, viewers can expect plenty of camp glamour, lots of drama and a blend of humour with dark themes including the cost of physical perfection. Plus, expect an impressive list of guest stars, including Bella Hadid and Meghan Trainor.
HELLO!'s Website Editor Kate Thomas, who is a huge Ryan Murphy fan, is particularly looking forward to this one. "Ryan Murphy is the unofficial king of horror - move over Stephen King," she said. "I watch everything he's made and am obsessed with his campy style; it's over the top, super sleek and fantastic viewing."
