CBS, Vertical

“Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans,” the second instalment of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology series “Feud,” will be the final role of actor Treat Williams, who died in a motorcycle crash Monday.

Williams reportedly recently wrapped working on the series, which hails from Plan B and 20th Television. He plays former CBS head and media tycoon Bill Paley in the adaptation of Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book “Capote’s Women”.

The series chronicles the tale of the famous author as he stabs several of his female friends in the back by publishing a roman à clef short story in Esquire in 1975.

The star-studded cast includes Tom Hollander as Capote alongside Calista Flockhart, Diane Lane, Naomi Watts, Chloë Sevigny and Ella Beatty. Gus Van Sant directed all eight episodes which were written by Jon Robin Baitz, who serves as showrunner.

In news of another passed star’s final work, a limited theatrical release date has finally been set for Carrie Fisher’s last film “Wonderwell”.

A coming-of-age fairy tale set between modern-day Italy and an imaginary realm just beyond, the story follows an inquisitive 12 year-old-girl on a thrilling journey that transforms her world forever.

Fisher had just completed shooting the film in the Summer of 2016 before getting ready to reprise her role as General Leia in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”. The actress passed at the end of 2016.

The film will be available via AMC Theaters in the U.S. starting June 23rd and will be followed by a digital release. The filmmakers have noted they will dedicate the film to Fisher.
