The Beauty Trailer: Ashton Kutcher Pushes A Wonder Drug For Eternal Youth In Ryan Murphy's FX Horror Drama
The fountain of youth is for sale — and Ashton Kutcher is selling.
FX has released a trailer for Ryan Murphy's new horror drama "The Beauty" (premiering Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 9/8c), and it is a horrifying vision indeed, with Kutcher playing a smarmy billionaire who's peddling "the hottest new super drug that makes you effortlessly beautiful." (And he's living proof that it works, he boasts.)
His miracle drug might have some side effects, though, as we see Bella Hadid trashing a restaurant in a violent rage. "The Beauty has been mutating out in the wild," a scientist warns Kutcher's character, but he just wants to get the drug out there to as many people as possible. Be careful what you wish for, though.
Set in the world of high fashion, "The Beauty" stars Evan Peters ("American Horror Story") and Rebecca Hall ("The Town") as FBI agents investigating a mysterious rash of deaths among supermodels. "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," per the official synopsis.
The trail leads them to a shadowy tech billionaire known as "The Corporation," played by Kutcher ("That '70s Show"), and his deadly enforcer, "The Assassin," played by Anthony Ramos ("Ironheart"), as "the agents race across Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York to stop a threat that could alter the future of humanity."
Murphy co-created the series with Matthew Hodgson ("9-1-1"), based on the comic book series, and serves as an executive producer. The guest stars include Hadid, Billy Eichner, Isabella Rossellini, Peter Gallagher, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Vincent D'Onofrio, Meghan Trainor, Ben Platt, and more.
