Nicola Peltz has secured a major new role in Ryan Murphy's forthcoming FX series The Beauty, amid ongoing tensions between her husband Brooklyn Beckham and his family. The 30-year-old actress joins an eclectic lineup of guest stars including Meghan Trainor, Isabella Rossellini, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Ben Platt, Julie Halston, and Lux Pascal.
Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall lead the 11-episode first season as FBI agents investigating a string of mysterious deaths among supermodels. The first three episodes will debut on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland from January 22, 2026. Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope also feature in the ensemble cast.
According to the official synopsis, Peters and Hall's characters travel to Paris to investigate unexplained deaths in the fashion world. They uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into 'visions of physical perfection — but with terrifying consequences.' Their pursuit takes them across Rome, Venice, and New York, placing them in the path of a tech tycoon known as The Corporation (Kutcher) and his lethal enforcer, The Assassin (Ramos).
Described as 'a global thriller that asks what you would sacrifice for perfection,' The Beauty is adapted from the graphic novel series by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. Peltz's previous credits include Transformers: Age of Extinction, Holidate, and Bates Motel. She also made her directorial debut with Lola, in which she starred.
In her personal life, Peltz has been at the centre of ongoing speculation about a rift within the Beckham family. Reports suggest that Brooklyn and Peltz have 'stepped back' from the wider clan, with their absence from family gatherings since Christmas fuelling talk of a divide. However, Brooklyn's younger brother Cruz appeared to extend an olive branch by sharing a throwback photo of himself with Brooklyn, Romeo, and their father David from a 2021 family holiday.
