The Beauty
One shot makes you hot.
Created by Matthew Hodgson, Ryan Murphy
A body-horror thriller set in high fashion that weaponizes beauty itself as a contagion, mixing procedural investigation with existential dread about perfection and mortality.
The world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. 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.
