Netflix
After shows like Feud and Hollywood, Ryan Murphy is once again going back in time with Halston. The limited Netflix series follows the legendary fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick, portrayed here by Ewan McGregor, as he builds a worldwide fashion empire that defined the 1970s and ‘80s New York lifestyle before a hostile takeover forces him out of his own fashion house. On what would have been Halston’s 89th birthday, the streaming service shared Warhol-inspired polaroids of the cast and confirmed the biopic series will debut worldwide in May.

In an interview for Vogue, Murphy said that the Star Wars actor “was, to us, the only choice. The thing that Ewan got about Halston was that Halston had a vision in his mind of who he wanted to be in life. He was self-created.”
Meanwhile, the 36-year-old actress, perhaps best known for Smash, is the latest person to bring the longtime, Oscar-winning actress to life on the small screen. Kelli Barrett mostly recently appeared as Minnelli in Fosse/Verdon.
