After a five-year-long wait, Ryan Murphy is finally plotting the second season of the anthology series Feud and its cast is shaping up to be amazing. Chloë Sevigny, Tom Hollander, Calista Flockhart, and Diane Lane will join Naomi Watts in Feud: Capote’s Women.

The second installment of this acclaimed anthology series draws inspiration from Laurence Leamer’s book Capote’s Women. It centers on famed author Truman Capote and a group of his female friends he called his “swans” and tried to throw under the bus in his unfinished novel Answered Prayer.

Tom Hollander (The Night Manager) will portray Truman Capote, while Naomi Watts, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, and Diane Lane are set to play Babe Paley, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill, and Slim Keith, some of the biggest socialites of the America jet set during the ’50s and ’60s. The second season will feature eight episodes, all directed by two-time Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant.

The first season of this acclaimed series was titled Feud: Bette and Joan and it premiered back in 2017. It starred Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon as Hollywood legends Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, whose infamous feud on the set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? remains the stuff of Hollywood legends.
