#CulturePH - Disney+ Drops a Killer New Thriller
Starting a new series always comes with that mix of curiosity and anticipation—especially when the cast is stacked and the story promises a wild ride. Disney+ just unveiled the official trailer for FX’s The Beauty, and it’s gearing up to premiere on January 22 with a three‑episode launch that feels perfect for an instant mini‑binge.
The series dives straight into the high‑gloss world of international fashion, but beneath the glamour hides something deeply unsettling. Supermodels across the globe begin dying in brutal, mysterious ways, setting off an investigation that sends FBI agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) all the way to Paris. As they unravel the truth, they uncover a virus tied to a so‑called miracle drug called The Beauty—a sexually transmitted pathogen that transforms ordinary people into flawless versions of themselves, but at horrific cost.
At the center of the chaos is a powerful tech billionaire known as “The Corporation,” portrayed by Ashton Kutcher. He’s the mastermind behind the drug and will go to extreme lengths to protect the empire he built from it—even unleashing a lethal enforcer played by Anthony Ramos. Meanwhile, Jeremy Pope brings depth to the story as “Jeremy,” an outsider searching for meaning as the world around him spirals out of control. From Paris to Venice, Rome, and New York, the series races across continents as the agents fight to stop a threat that could reshape humanity.
The guest cast lineup reads like a who’s‑who of fashion icons and Hollywood talent—Bella Hadid, Isabella Rossellini, Ben Platt, Meghan Trainor, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and more make appearances throughout the season. With Ryan Murphy and Matthew Hodgson leading the creative team, the show blends mystery, sci‑fi, and drama with the kind of slick tension fans love from Murphy’s previous hits. The Beauty is based on the comic book by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, who also serve behind the scenes.
Disney+ is rolling out the 11‑episode first season weekly after the premiere, with double‑episode drops toward the finale—perfect for viewers who love steady suspense. And for households managing mixed viewing moods, the platform’s parental controls make it easy to keep mature content locked behind PIN‑protected profiles.
If you’ve been craving a binge‑worthy thriller that blends beauty, danger, and a touch of sci‑fi weirdness, The Beauty might be the next show to claim your weeknights. It poses a chilling question that’s hard to ignore: what would perfection cost—and would you pay the price?
