OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR NEW SEASON OF RYAN MURPHY’S AWARD-WINNING LIMITED SERIES
FEUD: CAPOTE VS THE SWANS
PREMIERES 1 FEBRUARY ON BINGE
The official trailer for the eight-episode second season of Ryan Murphy’s award-winning anthology Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans, has been released ahead of its double-episode premiere 1 February on BINGE, with new episodes dropping weekly.
The series, based on the bestselling book ‘Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era’ by Laurence Leamer, stars an ensemble cast including Tom Hollander, Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald, Treat Williams, Joe Mantello and Russell Tovey.
Acclaimed writer Truman Capote (Hollander) surrounded himself with a coterie of society’s most elite women – rich, glamorous socialites who defined a bygone era of high society New York – whom he nicknamed “the swans.” Beautiful and distinguished, the group included grande dame Barbara “Babe” Paley (Watts), Slim Keith (Lane), C.Z. Guest (Sevigny) and Lee Radziwill (Flockhart). Enchanted and captivated by these doyennes, Capote ingratiated himself into their lives, befriending them and becoming their confidante, only to ultimately betray them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalisation of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets.
When an excerpt from the book, ‘Answered Prayers,’ Capote’s planned magnum opus, was published in Esquire, it effectively destroyed his relationship with his swans, banished him from the high society he so loved and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.
Written for television by Jon Robin Baitz, Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans was directed by Gus Van Sant, Max Winkler and Jennifer Lynch. The show is executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Alexis Martin Woodall, Baitz, Van Sant, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Naomi Watts, Eric Kovtun and Scott Robertson. It is produced by 20th Television.
FEUD: CAPOTE VS THE SWANS premieres on Thursday 1 February on BINGE and on Showcase at 9.30pm and is available On Demand.
