Nicola Peltz has secured a major new role amid ongoing tensions between her husband Brooklyn Beckham and her in-laws.
The 30-year-old has joined the cast of Ryan Murphy’s forthcoming FX series The Beauty.
She is among an eclectic line-up of guest stars that includes Meghan Trainor, Isabella Rossellini, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Ben Platt and Julie Halston as well as Lux Pascal, sister of The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal.
Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall lead the 11-episode first season as FBI agents investigating a string of mysterious deaths among supermodels.
The first three episodes will debut on FX and Hulu on January 21, 2026.
Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope also feature in the ensemble cast.
According to the official synopsis, Peters and Hall’s characters travel to Paris to investigate a series of unexplained deaths in the fashion world.
As they dig deeper, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into “visions of physical perfection — but with terrifying consequences.”
Their pursuit takes them across Rome, Venice and New York, placing them in the path of a tech tycoon known only as The Corporation (played by Kutcher) and his lethal enforcer, The Assassin (Ramos).

Described as “a global thriller that asks what you would sacrifice for perfection,” The Beauty is adapted from the graphic novel series by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley.
Peltz already has an extensive screen career.
Her latest project was Lola, her directorial debut, which she also starred in, playing a young woman fighting to protect her brother from an abusive home.
Her previous credits span both film and television, including Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014), Netflix’s Holidate (2020), and the acclaimed series Bates Motel.
She began acting in childhood, with early roles in Deck the Halls (2006) and Miley Cyrus’s 7 Things music video.

In her personal life, she has also found herself at the centre of ongoing speculation about a rift within the Beckham family.
Reports in recent months have suggested that Brooklyn Beckham and Peltz have “stepped back” from the wider clan, with their absence from family gatherings since Christmas fuelling talk of a divide.
However on Wednesday, Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz appeared to have extended an olive branch after sharing a throwback photo from happier times.
The singer, 20, posted a snap on Wednesday of himself with Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, and their father David during a sun-drenched family holiday in 2021.
It marks the first time Cruz has publicly shared an image featuring Brooklyn since tensions within the family became public.
