We love a murder mystery. We love a murder mystery when all the suspects are trapped on a Mediterranean ocean liner. And with Tony winner Mandy Patinkin playing "the world's greatest detective," count us all in. In Death and Other Details, prime suspect Imogene Scott (played by Violett Bean) must team up with genius gumshoe Rufus Coatsworthe (Patinkin) to prove her innocence. The mystery series is created by showrunners Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams based on the works of the golden age of detective novels (think Agatha Christie). Tony winner Lauren Patten co-stars. The first two episodes drop January 16, followed by weekly releases.

Creator Ryan Murphy is back on the small screen with a second installment of his Feud anthology. The 2017 first season focused on the battle between Hollywood divas Joan Crawford and Bette Davis during the filming of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? For this second season, the action jumps to New York society with Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans. The series is based on the book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era by Laurence Leamer and adapted for screen by Tony-nominated playwright Jon Robin Baitz. Tony and Olivier nominee Tom Hollander stars as author Truman Capote, who, though born into poverty in the American rural south, ascended into the ranks of Manhattan’s upper crust through his literary career. His friendship with the clique of New York’s richest, most glamourous women, whom he nicknamed “the swans,” soured when he exposed their most intimate secrets—drug use, extramarital affairs, and even murder—in an excerpt of his final work "Answered Prayers," published in Esquire magazine. The series boasts a flock of today’s Hollywood leading ladies as the mid-century socialites including Naomi Watts as Babe Paley, Diane Lane as Slim Keith, Chloë Sevigny as C.Z. Guest, and Calista Flockhart as Lee Radziwill, along with Demi Moore as Ann Woodward, Molly Ringwald as Joanne Carson, Treat Williams as Bill Paley, Joe Mantello as Jack Dunphy and Russell Tovey as John O’Shea. The first two episodes of the eight-episode series will premiere January 31 on FX, and will be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
