'American Horror Story' Star Evan Peters Learns Multiple Languages for Thriller 'The Beauty'

In October 2025, actor Evan Peters, 38, revealed that he had learned several foreign languages for his role in the upcoming FX and Hulu series 'The Beauty'. The international thriller, created by Ryan Murphy and Matthew Hodgson, is based on a comic book series and is set to premiere in early 2026.

During a panel discussion at New York Comic Con, Peters opened up about the linguistic challenge he faced for the show. Murphy, who has collaborated with Peters on multiple projects, including 'American Horror Story', admitted that he often adds "something incredibly challenging" for the actor in his roles. For 'The Beauty', that challenge was learning various languages.

Peters explained that he enjoyed the process and worked with tutors to master the basics of the languages, focusing on pronunciation. The show was filmed in four different locations - New York, Paris, Venice, and Rome - suggesting that the languages he learned could include French and Italian.

The actor also mentioned using the language-learning app Babbel as one of his resources. Murphy teased that 'The Beauty' will showcase a new side of Peters, allowing him to play a character who is not "villainous" but rather makes "an amazing sacrifice for love" - a departure from some of his previous dark roles.

As Peters prepares to take on this exciting new challenge, fans of the actor can look forward to seeing him in a fresh, multilingual performance when 'The Beauty' premieres on Hulu and FX in early 2026.
