“FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans” is set to be a riveting installment in Ryan Murphy’s anthology series, making a return after the success of its first season which depicted the legendary rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. This new season draws its inspiration from Laurence Leamer’s book “Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era” and will take viewers into the scandalous high society of 1970s Manhattan.FEUD Capote Vs.

The show is directed by Gus Van Sant, Max Winkler, and Jennifer Lynch, with Jon Robin Baitz at the helm of writing. The eight-episode series will delve into Truman Capote’s complex relationships with his circle of socialite friends, the ‘swans,’ and the fallout after he betrays their trust by revealing their secrets in his literature. The narrative is centered around the famed author, played by Tom Hollander, and will feature an ensemble cast including Naomi Watts as Babe Paley, a former Vogue editor and one of Capote’s swans, alongside other notable stars like Chloë Sevigny as CZ Guest, and Demi Moore as Ann Woodward.

Production kicked off in New York in the fall of 2022, and the series is anticipated to premiere on January 31, 2024, with Hulu streaming the episodes the day after their initial broadcast. International audiences will find the series on Disney+ through the Star portal and on Star+ in Latin America.
