Tom Hollander Transforms into Truman Capote for FX's New 'Feud'
As Disney and Hulu slowly merge together in 2024, one of the more interesting aspects will be how FX shakes out. The more adult-oriented network was part of the 20th Century Fox brands that Disney acquired in 2019, and while it is about as "Un-Disney" as one can get, it also came with something Disney hasn't been able to land much of over the years: prestige TV awards cred. Part of that comes from British co-productions, and some comes from American productions that are British-ish.
Most of the productions that uber-producer Ryan Murphy helms productions have never landed in either of those buckets. They are thoroughly American, so much so that it's in the name: American Horror Story, American Crime Story, American Sports Story, American Love Story. However, the best of the batch, Feud, only lasted for one season before disappearing for about a decade. It's now returned with a British star in the central role, Tom Hollander as Truman Capote, making it the first Murphy series to officially land in the British-ish territory.
Hollander, a PBS favorite, has been headlining American prestige shows lately, including a classic turn in HBO's The White Lotus. However, if the trailer is anything to go by, his turn in Feud may be the talk of the spring TV season.
