Supermodel Bella Hadid will make her acting debut alongside pop singer Meghan Trainor in a new Disney+ thriller series that launches later this month. 

The series, from producer Ryan Murphy, who is behind the likes of Netflix's Monster series and American Horror Story, is set in the world of high fashion and follows FBI agents investigating models who begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. 

The Beauty, which will air across 11 episodes and will air weekly on Thursdays from January 22, is packed with a high-profile cast, including model Bella, 29. 

X Men star Evan Peters plays agent Cooper Madsen, and Iron Man's Rebecca Hall as  his co-worker agent Jordan Bennett, who are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. 

Delving deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into the vision of physical perfection. 

But for individuals who are infected, while their looks begin to morph, they are eventually met with a terrifying consequence. 

The agent's investigation leads them into the crosshairs of The Corporation, led by a shadowy tech billionaire, played by Ashton Kutcher, who has secretly engineered the miracle drug dubbed The Beauty.

And he will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire, including unleashing his lethal enforcer The Assassin, who is portrayed by Hamilton star Anthony Ramos. 

As the epidemic continues to spread, Jeremy Pope's Jeremy, a desperate outsider, is caught up in the chaos, and starts searching from Paris to Venice, Rome to New York to stop a threat that could alter humanity. 

Alongside Bella, Me Too singer Meghan Trainer, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Isabella Rossellini, Jessica Alexander and Julie Halston will also feature. 

While Ari Graynor, Billy Eichner, Jaquel Spivey, Jon Jon Briones, John Carroll Lynch, Lux Pascal, Peter Gallagher and Vincent D'Onofrio will also appear in the series. 

The trailer shows Ashton as the trillionaire business owner being injected with the beauty drug, on a super yacht by a team of scientist-looking staff. 

It goes on to show a number of people going to 'get the beauty shot' to transform themselves, as the show's stars flaunt their looks on screen.

'Are there side effects?' one then asks, showing model Bella screaming and attacking restaurant goers - and appearing to mutate in front of police officers, before the action flicks to Anthony Ramos' killer Assassin, taking out a number of characters. 

'It's gone from international virus to murder,' another character then says, as the screen flashes to a crime scene, as Bella's character continues to mutate. 

Bella's appearance in the FX-made show makes for the first venture for the model into the TV industry.

Disney-owned network FX snapped up the series, which comes straight from Ryan Murphy’s own production company alongside 20th Television.

The series is based on a 2016 graphic novel, and with Ryan teaming up with American Sports Story’s as co-creator — so high drama, dark secrets, and plenty of jaw-dropping moments are expected.

Bella previously made a cameo appearance in Hulu's comedy-drama series Ramy.

Bella - who used to be a competitive equestrian - was recently named the third highest-paid model in 2025.

Her elder sister Gigi is just above her in second place, with Kendall Jenner, Adriana Lima and Ashley Graham also among the top ranking stars, according to CEO Today magazine.

In her personal life, Bella has been dating cowboy Adan Banuelos since January 2023 and the couple bought their Fort Worth, Texas, home one year ago.

The half-Dutch, half-Palestinian stunner previously dated art director Marc Kalman, R&B crooner The Weeknd, and Cha Cha Matcha founder Matthew Morton.

The Beauty will be available to stream on Disney+ from January 22
