Netflix has premiered the first key-art for award-winning creator Ryan Murphy’s new seven-episode limited series “Hollywood” with the series to launch May 1st.
The story will follow a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood as they try to make it in Tinseltown — no matter the cost.
Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood’s Golden Age, spotlighting the unfair systems and biases across race, gender and sexuality that continue to this day. It also plays with the idea of what the entertainment landscape might look like if these power dynamics had been dismantled.
Darren Criss, Patti LuPone, Samara Weaving, Laura Harrier, Holland Taylor, Dylan McDermott, David Corenswet, Jim Parsons, Jake Picking and Joe Mantello co-star in the series.
Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Alexis Martin Woodall, Darren Criss, and Janet Mock executive produce with Mock serving as a writer and director.
