After last week’s brutal backstory on how Byron (Ashton Kutcher) became a billionaire in a very bloody way, FX Networks and Ryan Murphy (FX’s American Horror Story, ABC’s Doctor Odyssey) are back tonight with the next chapter of the Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall-starring adaptation of Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley’s comic book series The Beauty. In S01E06: “Beautiful Patient Zero,” Byron’s ready to go big with his game-changer, side effects be damned. Meanwhile, Cooper (Peters) looks like he’s heading for a face-off with the Assassin (Anthony Russo), and it appears we’re not quite done when it comes to scientific surprises – and not of the good kind. Here’s a look at the overview, image gallery, and preview for tonight’s chapter, followed by the latest episode of the podcast and insights from the cast on last week’s episode.

Hurley, Haun Offer NYCC Screening Reactions

“Tonight, I got to see something truly special with my pal, [Jason A. Hurley],” Haun kicked off the caption to their Instagram post, which included an image gallery from the New York Comic Con (NYCC) event in October 2025. “We joined Ryan Murphy and the amazing cast for a select preview and panel for the upcoming FX tv series of THE BEAUTY. Hurley and I put so much love into writing THE BEAUTY comic series. Now, seeing the absolute magic Ryan, Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Rebecca Hall, Ashton Kutcher, and the whole crew brought to this series genuinely brought tears to our eyes. Thanks to everyone who has helped make THE BEAUTY a reality. Love you all.”

“Got to see a preview of The Beauty TV show, and a panel with the cast, with a few hundred close friends. Nothing will ever be more surreal. What an amazing experience, and thanks to everyone who made it happen,” Hurley shared in their Instagram post, which included a look at the panel and the audience:

In FX’s The Beauty, the world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) 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.

Their path leads them directly into the crosshairs of The Corporation (Ashton Kutcher), a shadowy tech billionaire who has secretly engineered a miracle drug dubbed “The Beauty,” who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire—including unleashing his lethal enforcer, The Assassin (Anthony Ramos).

FX’s The Beauty is a global thriller that asks: What would you sacrifice for perfection?
