The 2016 graphic novel The Beauty is about an STD that makes those affected beautiful. But the disease, dubbed “the Beauty,” eventually kills its hosts as part of a suspected sinister government plot.

The main characters in the comics are detectives Drew Foster and Kara Vaughn, partners on beauty crime cases who have to find their way past corrupt politicians, vengeful federal agents, and a terrifying mercenary out to collect the price on their heads.

The TV series adaptation is reportedly a two-hander, with a male and female lead.

The search is under way for an actress to join Peters, Ramos, Pope and Kutcher.

Chatter about The Beauty first started in June, with Murphy’s frequent collaborator Peters said to be attached as star and executive producer. By August, the cast started to take shape with Ramos, Pope and Kutcher either set or in negotiations.

The series is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.

Ramos recently starred in Universal’s summer tentpole Twisters alongside Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones and in the latest installment in the Transformers franchisee, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Up next, Ramos stars in the Marvel series Ironheart for Disney+.
