Emmy Rossum understood the task. The Shameless alum transforms into the mysterious billboard icon Angelyne in Peacock’s new restricted sequence. From voluminous platinum blonde hair to blue contacts to large prosthetics boobs to the high-pitched voice, Emmy is completely unrecognizable in her newest function.
“Since I used to be a bit of lady, I’ve recognized fame is my future. Enormous, gigantic fame,” Angelyne says within the trailer. When billboards that includes Angelyne start popping up round Los Angeles, she will get the celebrity she’s at all times needed. However with that fame comes questions, many Angelyne doesn’t wish to reply.
“Opposite to what folks assume, I’m truly very non-public. Folks ought to respect that,” Angelyne admits. The trailer additionally options characters calling Angelyne the “satan in disguise” and saying “cash is her backside line, not folks.”
So, who’s Angelyne? The actual Angelyne. That’s what the present goes to attempt to clarify. It doesn’t matter what she’s prepared (and never prepared) to say, Angelyne was a trailblazer in a pre-social media period.
“As a society broadening our understanding of identification, this story performs with giant questions. Are we outlined by the historic information of our life? Or can we outline ourselves? To self-actualize, to embrace whoever we’re on the within and dwell no matter reality feels most correct. When everybody’s expertise of actuality and reality is private, can there ever be one true story? I’ve spent the higher a part of 4 years pondering, dwelling, and respiration this undertaking. I really like Angelyne. She’s as if Marilyn Monroe obtained into a simple bake oven with a 80s punk Barbie Doll, and a dose of recent age spirituality. She’s a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the unique influencer, a living-breathing piece of artwork. Here’s a little style of the present. I hope you fall in love together with her magic,” Emmy stated in a press release.
Angelyne additionally stars Martin Freeman, Hamish Linklater, Michael Angarano, Molly Ephraim, Philip Ettinger, Lukas Gage, Charlie Rowe, Alex Karpovsky, and David Krumholtz. All episodes of the sequence will drop Could 19 on Peacock.
