Ashton Kutcher and Bella Hadid are drop dead gorgeous in the trailer of FX’s new series, The Beauty.
The trailer of the show (premiering on Wednesday, Jan. 21), begins with a tech billionaire (played by Kutcher) taking off his patterned robe as he lounges on his yacht. A montage of clips of Kutcher's character in a medical lab begins as he says, “I’m the world’s greatest God damn advertisement for the hottest new super drug that makes you effortlessly beautiful.”
While on a yacht, Isabella Rossellini appears and says "every night, I pray for your death."

Kutcher’s “The Corporation” is a “shadowy tech billionaire who has secretly engineered a miracle drug dubbed ‘The Beauty,’ who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire,” per the official synopsis.
Bella Hadid in 'The Beauty'
A series of patients of “the beauty shot” appear on screen before the camera lands on a botched supermodel (played by Hadid) as she screams at the sight of her reflection in a mirror and goes on a rampage, knocking a chef out with a cast-iron pan and shoving a bystander's head in a plate of food.

The video then cuts to Anthony Ramos, who plays “The Assassin,” saying, “This is the closest to the fountain of youth anyone is ever going to get, which of course, comes with problems.”
In the trailer, Kutcher says the drug is going to market in six months and tells a scientist to "fix the bugs" before slapping him.
It's revealed that this beauty drug is infecting people with a virus that leads to death, luring in an investigation by FBI Agents Cooper Madsen, played by Evan Peters, and Jordan Bennett, played by Rebecca Hall.
“As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences,” per the synopsis.
Or as Kutcher puts it, "It's an STD that people will actually want."
With a star-studded cast and cameos from Ben Platt and Meghan Trainor, the trailer promises a binge-worthy watch.
Co-created by Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind American Horror Story, All’s Fair and Glee, the show is based on the comic book series written by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley.
The Beauty premieres Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 9 p.m. ET on FX and Hulu.
