Viewers are curious to know whether FX has renewed or canceled The Beauty Season 2. Created by Ryan Murphy and Matthew Hodgson, the sci-fi body horror series follows a sexually transmitted treatment that goes viral. It alters genetics and gives people the physical appearance they desire. The treatment soon takes a deadly turn, leading to the intervention of the FBI, which investigates the powerful forces behind the dangerous epidemic. With the series recently concluding, many want to know whether another installment is in the works.
Has FX canceled The Beauty or renewed it for Season 2?
FX has neither renewed nor canceled The Beauty.
Generally, a series renewal depends on multiple factors, including financial viability, viewership, audience reception, ratings, completion rate, and much more. If the series ticks all the desired boxes, a renewal is more likely. In the case of The Beauty, it’s still too early to gauge the series’ performance, given that it premiered only a few days ago. When it comes to pre-planned installments, renewals tend to happen quickly. But brand-new shows must wait for a performance review before a decision is made. The coming days will likely disclose the fate of the series.
In a past interview with Variety, Ryan Murphy revealed that the show’s genre was something he had never explored before. He said, “It’s something I’ve never done before, which is a sci-fi medical show about a new virus that mutates and it’s sexually transmitted, that turns you into your absolute perfect self. And the question is, how far would you go to be beautiful? What would you sacrifice to that, and does that matter?” He also expressed a desire to explore the Ozempic culture. He noted that while a single shot may make someone feel better on the surface, it doesn’t address the internal issues that prompt someone to take such a step. “Sometimes it is health, sometimes it’s vanity,” he added.
The main cast includes Evan Peters, Hudson Barry, Anthony Ramos, Teddy Cañez, Jeremy Pope, Jaquel Spivey, Rebecca Hall, Jessica Alexander, Ashton Kutcher, and Vincent D’Onofrio.
