The trailer for Ryan Murphy's highly anticipated new series, 'The Beauty', has shattered a major record for the FX network, generating unprecedented buzz ahead of its premiere later this month.
Record-Breaking Trailer Buzz
According to industry outlet Deadline, the explosive preview for the horror sci-fi show amassed a staggering nearly 190 million views in just seven days. This phenomenal response has made it the most-viewed trailer in FX's history, signalling huge audience interest.
The official FX Networks Instagram account celebrated the milestone, posting: "One Shot Makes You Hot. FX's most viewed trailer ever with nearly 190 million views." Fans flooded the comments with excitement, with one writing, "Inject this show into my veins already!" and another declaring, "We are SO READY!!!"
A Dark Tale of Perfection
'The Beauty', which is based on a comic book series, centres on a revolutionary new drug that promises eternal youth. The tagline "One shot makes you hot" hints at its allure, but the narrative quickly descends into a nightmare as the medication's terrifying consequences unfold.
The story follows FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) as they investigate a series of gruesome deaths among supermodels. Their probe leads them to a sexually transmitted virus that transforms people into visions of physical perfection, with deadly side effects.
Their investigation puts them on a collision course with "The Corporation," a shadowy empire led by a tech billionaire played by Ashton Kutcher. He will stop at nothing to protect his trillion-dollar empire, deploying his lethal enforcer, "The Assassin" (Anthony Ramos).
Release Schedule and Star-Studded Cast
For UK audiences, the series will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on January 22. However, viewers hoping to binge the entire story will need patience. The streaming platform will release the first three episodes on the launch date, followed by a weekly schedule.
New instalments of the 11-episode series will drop every Thursday, with two episodes releasing in each of the final two weeks. The global thriller will span iconic locations including Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York.
Alongside the core cast, the series features an impressive roster of guest stars, including Bella Hadid, Ben Platt, Billy Eichner, Isabella Rossellini, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and Meghan Trainor.
As the trailer's record-breaking success proves, audiences are captivated by the show's central, chilling question: what would you sacrifice for perfection?
