Shocking Sci-Fi Thriller Exposes Deadly Side Effects of Cosmetic Immortality
12 Oct
Summary
- Upcoming FX sci-fi thriller features "exploding supermodels" and "body horror"
- Drug created by billionaires has deadly 855-day time limit before users self-ignite
- Series follows FBI agents investigating model deaths and the drug's side effects
In an upcoming FX sci-fi thriller, creator Ryan Murphy is set to unveil a chilling tale of a "fountain of youth" drug developed by billionaires that comes with a deadly catch. According to the preview at New York Comic Con on October 12, 2025, the series, titled "The Beauty," centers around a drug that seems to offer eternal youth, but in reality, users only have 855 days before they violently self-destruct.
The story begins with a spate of "exploding supermodels" being captured on cellphones around the world. FBI agents Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall are called in to investigate, including the murder of a model found dead in her bed with her chest sliced open. However, the real horror lies in the drug's side effects, which Murphy describes as "self-ignition ketosis" - a process where users literally "burn from within and collapse into what looks to be something out of the movie Alien."
