The seven-part series, which will debut in March 2025, follows “an ensemble of the era's celebrities, including Thomas Edison, Edgar Degas and Evelyn Nesbit” as they gather in the home of an “eccentric and failing tycoon,” the logline says. At the end of the night, the mogul is found dead, leading to a historical fiction crime thriller.
McPhee (“Smash,” “Waitress” on Broadway) will play early 20th-century vaudeville actress Nora Bayes. Anderson (“Peter Pan and Wendy,” “Black Widow”) will play Evelyn Nesbit, the woman at the center of the infamous crime of the century, while Hennessy (“City on a Hill,” “Accused”) will play her mother. Mulvoy Ten (“Selah and the Spades,” “American Crime”) will play Lilith, an orphaned dancer from France.
The show is currently being produced and filmed on location in Connecticut.
Network founder Aram Rappaport serves as creator, executive producer, writer and director of “The Artist.” Hilary Shor (“Children of Men,” “The Paperboy”) is a producer.
McPhee is repped by MJ Entertainment and MGMT Entertainment. Anderson is repped by Untitled Entertainment and CAA. Hennessy is repped by Innovative Artists and Finley Management. Mulvoy Ten is repped by Talentworks and Strand Ent.
