Since the premise and the cast were both first announced, Ryan Murphy’s latest storytelling foray, the upcoming Netflix limited series Hollywood, was beyond eagerly anticipated. Today, Netflix released the first looks of the cast, revealing both who they are portraying, as well as some of the stunning old Hollywood costumes they are wearing. The show takes place post-World War II, as a group of aspiring filmmakers and actors both try to make it in Hollywood. Broadway.com reports that “the story blends fact and fiction to ask what would happen if these entertainment professionals could overcome the race, gender and power barriers that plagued the industry during that time (and still continues today)”.

Hollywood drops on Netflix on May 1, and contains seven glamour drenched episodes.
