Ryan Murphy's Anthology Series Chronicles Truman Capote's Betrayal of New York's Elite Women
- Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, the second season of Ryan Murphy's anthology series, is set to premiere on January 31, 2024.
- The series is based on Laurence Leamer's book, Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era, and focuses on writer Truman Capote's relationships with New York's elite women, his 'swans'.
- Tom Hollander stars as Truman Capote, with a cast including Naomi Watts as Babe Paley, Diane Lane as Slim Keith, Chloë Sevigny as C.Z. Guest, Calista Flockhart as Lee Radziwill, Demi Moore as Ann Woodward, and Molly Ringwald as Joanne Carson.
- The series chronicles Capote's betrayal of his 'swans' when he published a thinly veiled fictionalization of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets, in Esquire.
- The fallout from the publication of Capote's exposé led to his banishment from high society and a spiral of self-destruction.
