Gore, humor, body horror, social commentary and a lineup of A-list actors.
It’s all in the highly anticipated finale of Ryan Murphy’s ‘The Beauty’ on FX.
The stars say the season comes to what’s sure to be an eye-popping end.
“What would you do in the namesake of beauty? And every person has a different kind of meter for how far they’re willing to go,” said Jeremy Pope, who plays ‘Jeremy.’
‘The Beauty’ is the hottest new superdrug that makes users effortlessly beautiful.
It’s Ryan Murphy’s dark commentary on beauty standards.
“That’s what makes it thrilling for us as artists, because we’re like, what are the rules of this, this universe of the beauty,” said Pope.
“You just take all these insane circumstances and put them together with some grounded performances and put together, and it’s like Ryan Murphy magic,” said Jess Alexander, who plays ‘Jordan 2.’
The cast says we are all on the same wild ride.
“There’s no table read. Yeah, it was no really, like, you know, you get the scripts. I signed on to this gig. I didn’t even read a script. He just explained what the character was gonna be. And I was like, dope. I love it,” says Anthony Ramos, who plays ‘The Assassin.’
“As the scripts come in, you’re like, ‘Wow, I wasn’t expecting that,’” says Ramos.
“Just when you think that you know where it’s going to go, it goes somewhere else,” says Ramos.
And the same holds true for the finale.
“We were guessing just as much as the audience is. I mean, we had, like, really, no idea what was going to happen,” says Alexander.
“It’s explosive. I think it’s extremely entertaining because it’s a wild one…You think it’s one thing. You think it’s a love story, until it’s not, then it becomes a horror show. You think it’s a comedy show until it’s not,” says Pope.
“Expect the unexpected,” says Alexander.
The Season 1 finale of ‘The Beauty’ airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. on FX and streams the next day on Hulu.
