Disney+ has officially unveiled the trailer for FX’s original drama series The Beauty, setting the stage for a stylish yet chilling global thriller from executive producer Ryan Murphy. The series premieres Thursday, January 22, exclusively on Disney+, with the first three episodes dropping on launch day.
The 11-episode debut season will continue with weekly Thursday releases, culminating in a heightened finale with two episodes airing in each of the final two weeks—a release schedule designed to keep tension running high.
Glamour Meets a Gruesome Mystery
In The Beauty, the glamorous world of high fashion hides a deadly secret. When international supermodels begin dying under brutal and unexplained circumstances, the case draws the attention of the FBI. Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) are dispatched to Paris, only to uncover a conspiracy far darker than anyone imagined.
Their investigation reveals a sexually transmitted virus capable of transforming ordinary people into icons of physical perfection. The transformation, however, comes with horrifying consequences that ripple across borders and industries alike.
A Miracle Drug With Sinister Intentions
At the heart of the mystery is “The Corporation,” a powerful tech empire led by enigmatic billionaire Ashton Kutcher. His company has secretly engineered the drug known as “The Beauty,” a so-called miracle that fuels obsession, desire, and ultimately devastation. Protecting his trillion-dollar creation at all costs, he deploys his ruthless enforcer, “The Assassin” (Anthony Ramos), leaving a trail of fear in his wake.
As the epidemic spreads from Paris to Venice, Rome, and New York, a lost outsider named Jeremy (Jeremy Pope) becomes entangled in the chaos—searching for purpose as humanity edges closer to irreversible change.
The Beauty poses a haunting question that lingers long after each episode:
How much would you give up to be perfect?

The series boasts an impressive lineup of guest stars, including Bella Hadid, Isabella Rossellini, Meghan Trainor, Ben Platt, Billy Eichner, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Peter Gallagher, Vincent D’Onofrio, and more, adding layers of intrigue and star power to the already compelling narrative.
