CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Playbill reports:



The first official trailer for Ryan Murphy’s Tinseltown drama Hollywood has dropped, and it seems the show will tackle the usual topics of historical dramas like racism, secret romances, and predatory power figures, but with twists like gas station attendants who offer their customers extra services.

The series, starring Broadway alums Darren Criss, Jeremy Pope, Patti LuPone, and more, premieres on Netflix May 1.

Hollywood follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Los Angeles as they try to make it big. The series, which spotlights the biases across race, gender, and sexuality, examines decades-old power dynamics and what the entertainment landscape might look like were they dismantled.
