Then, on 6 August, it emerged that Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash and Teyana Taylor would all be coming on board as well. It makes sense, certainly, given that Paulson, Watts and Nash are all already part of the extended Ryan Murphy televisual universe (with their parts in the likes of The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, Ratched, Impeachment: American Crime Story, The Watcher, Feud: Capote vs The Swans, Scream Queens and Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story), and that Taylor has been in high demand since her astonishing work in A Thousand and One and, more recently, One Battle After Another. And this isn’t, of course, Kim’s first collaboration with Murphy either – she gave a breakthrough performance as a cutthroat publicist in American Horror Story: Delicate, a turn which silenced many of her detractors and prompted a flood of new acting offers.
On 13 May, a first teaser dropped – and it’s every bit as wild as you’d expect, with ice cream-hued suiting, plush private jets and surprise appearances from Mamie Gummer and Jessica Simpson, with the latter tossing a drink in someone’s face, no less. A first trailer then followed on 8 October.
