The new series follows the stories of aspiring actors and filmmakers in a post-World War II tinseltown

MANILA, Philippines – The story of Hollywood’s golden age is getting a modern-day rewrite in the upcoming limited series Hollywood, from American Horror Story and The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story creator Ryan Murphy.

The show is set in post-World War II Hollywood as it follows the stories of aspiring actors and filmmakers, all willing to do whatever it takes to get their big break. With as much glamour as grit, the show examines Tinseltown’s power dynamics from a modern-day lens, highlighting the prejudices across race, gender, and sexuality that still plague the industry today.
