Feud creator Ryan Murphy has released the first teaser trailer for his upcoming season of the show, titled Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans. The story is based on the bestselling book “Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era” by Laurence Leamer. The miniseries is set in the 1970s and ends with Truman Capote’s death in 1984. It chronicles the tale of the famous wunderkind author (Tom Hollander) as he stabs several of his female friends — whom he called his “swans” — in the back by publishing a roman à clef short story called “La Côte Basque 1965” in Esquire in 1975.
The teaser reveals a first look at its incredible lineup of stars that includes Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Molly Ringwald and Demi Moore.
His inner circle of swans included Babe Paley (Watts), wife of CBS head Bill Paley; Slim Keith (Lane); Pamela Churchill Harriman, ex-wife of Winston’s son and future wife of Slim’s husband; Lee Radziwill (Flockhart), sister of Jackie Kennedy; Gloria Guinness and C.Z. Guest (Sevigny).
The series also stars Moore as Ann “Bang-Bang” Woodward, Ringwald as Joanne Carson, Treat Williams as Bill Paley, Joe Mantello as Jack Dunphy and Russell Tovey as John O’Shea. Gus Van Sant directed all eight episodes, with Jon Robin Baitz writing all episodes and serving as showrunner.
This looks like it’s going to be a blast of a season! Check out the trailer below, and watch Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans on FX on January 31, and Hulu.
