“Hollywood”: Laura Harrier and Jeremy Pope Are Young Actors Trying to Make it in Tinseltown

After debuting some stunning photos earlier this month, Netflix returns with a brand new trailer for its newest limited series Hollywood that exposes decades-old power dynamics in the most glamorous place in the world.

Directed by Pose‘s Janet Mock (who also serves as a writer and exec. producer) and written by Ryan Murphy (Glee, Pose) and Ian Brennan (Glee, The Politician), the show follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in mid 1900s who eagerly want to become successful and famous. The seven-episode limited series spotlights biases across race, gender and sexuality in Post-World War II Hollywood.

BlackkKlansman‘s Laura Harrier plays Camille and Jeremy Pope plays Archie Coleman – both young actors trying to make it in Tinseltown by all means necessary. Queen Latifah will make an appearance as the legendary Mattie McDaniel.

Also starring in the limited series are: David Corenswet as Jack, Darren Criss as Raymond, Samara Weaving as Claire, Dylan McDermott as Ernie, Holland Taylor as Ellen Kincaid, Patti LuPone as Avis, Jim Parsons as Henry Willson, Jake Picking as Rock Hudson, Joe Mantello as Dick, and Maude Apatow as Henrietta. Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

The series will make its debut on May 1. Watch the full trailer above!
