The premiere date for Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix series Hollywood has been announced.
The seven-episode series – which Murphy has previously called “a love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown” – follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in Hollywood post-World War II, as they try to make it big.
“Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood’s Golden Age, spotlighting the unfair systems and biases across race, gender and sexuality that continue to this day,” the description for the series begins.
The series will debut on Netflix on May 1, 2020, according to TV Line.
The series has a star-studded cast, including Darren Criss (American Crime Story), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Dylan McDermott (American Horror Story), David Corenswet (The Politician), Patti LuPone (Life Goes On,Pose), Joe Mantello (The Normal Heart), Holland Taylor (Two and a Half Men) and Jake Picking (Chasing Life).
Mira Sorvino (Modern Family), Maude Apatow (Euphoria) and Rob Reiner (All in the Family, New Girl) are all also set to guest star in the series.
Murphy announced the series back in February 2019, saying he “couldn’t be more excited” about the project.
“‘Hollywood’ — my new Netflix show co-created with Ian Brennan — begins principal photography this summer,” he said at the time. “A love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown, this straight-to-series production will be my third show for Netflix and I couldn’t be more excited or proud about the work we are doing together.”
