Katharine McPhee, Jill Hennessy, Ever Anderson and Ana Mulvoy Ten have joined the murder mystery limited series “The Artist.”
From the free, ad-supported streamer and studio The Network, the Gilded Age-set series also stars previously announced cast members Mandy Patinkin, Janet McTeer, Danny Huston, Patti LuPone, Hank Azaria, Zachary Quinto and Clark Gregg.
The seven-episode 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 meet at the home of “an eccentric and failing tycoon,” per the logline. By the end of the night, the mogul is found dead, spurring a historical fiction-themed murder mystery.
McPhee (“Smash,” “Waitress” on Broadway) will play early-20th-century vaudeville performer 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 in production and filming on location in Connecticut.
The 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 represented by MJ Entertainment and MGMT Entertainment. Anderson is represented by Untitled Entertainment and CAA. Hennessy is represented by Innovative Artists and Finley Management. Mulvoy Ten is represented by Talentworks and Strand Ent.
