The Shards is on the way!
The upcoming Ryan Murphy series will premiere with two episodes on August 5 at 9 p.m. ET on Hulu and FX.
The show is set in Los Angeles in the ’80s, and follows a group of high school seniors.
Here’s the synopsis: “Set against the vivid backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles, the series follows a group of privileged high school seniors at an elite prep school as they navigate identity, sex, jealousy, obsession and the dangers lurking beneath the surface of American adolescence.”
The cast includes Igby Rigney, Homer Gere, Graham Campbell, Kaia Gerber, Evan Rachel Wood, Wes Bentley, and Hayes Warner.
“I’ve always loved, borderline worshipped, Bret’s work. We’re pretty much the same age and I grew up with [his books]. He’s interested in the things I’m interested in,” Ryan told Vogue.
“We read thousands of people for these parts—every young person working in that magic age range auditioned for these parts. It took six months,” he added of the casting process.
“I remember specifically when Homer walked into the room. I had him read for Matt, Thom, Bret. As soon as he read Robert, I thought, That’s the guy.”
“Shows about first times are exciting—first kiss, first heartbreak, in this case first murder. Everything is so in color, so vivid,” he added of the premise.
