Ashton Kutcher plays a shady tech billionaire in trailer for FX's The Beauty

Collider reports Ryan Murphy's upcoming FX series The Beauty has released a new trailer that positions Ashton Kutcher as a shady tech billionaire called The Corporation in a dark, body-horror premise Murphy has described as a "sci-fi medical show."

The trailer shows Kutcher partying on a yacht and hailing himself as "the greatest goddamn advertisement" for a new super drug, with lines such as "One simple injection to become a beauty" and "It's an STD that people will actually want." Murphy and Matthew Hodgson created the adaptation of the Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley comic, and the series also stars Evan Peters, Rebecca Hall, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, with guest appearances from names including Bella Hadid, Ben Platt, Billy Eichner, Isabella Rossellini and Vincent D'Onofrio.

According to the official synopsis, The Beauty is set in a high-fashion world where international supermodels die mysteriously and FBI agents Cooper Madsen (Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Hall) travel to Paris to investigate a sexually transmitted virus that grants physical perfection with terrifying consequences, bringing them into conflict with Kutcher's Corporation and his enforcer, The Assassin (Ramos). The first three episodes premiere January 21, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET on FX and Hulu (and on Disney+ for international viewers).
