‘Feud: Bette And Joan‘ finally has a UK premiere date, as BBC Two announces the Ryan Murphy series will arrive on Saturday, 16th December 2017 at 9pm.
Starring Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford and Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis, it tells the story of Davis and Crawford’s collaboration on ‘What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?’ and the feud that continued long after the cameras stopped rolling. ‘Feud: Bette and Joan’ explores with great style and wit how the two stars endured ageism, sexism and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers.
“BBC Two viewers will relish this critically-acclaimed portrayal of Old Hollywood and a famously combustible yet poignant relationship,” commented Sue Deeks, BBC Head of Programme Acquisition. “It is a zesty cocktail of glamour, wit and grit.”
‘Feud: Bette and Joan’s cast also features Catherine Zeta-Jones as Olivia de Havilland and Kathy Bates as Joan Blondell. The four Academy Award winners are joined by Judy Davis as Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, Alfred Molina as director and producer Robert Aldrich, Stanley Tucci as Warner Bros. studio head Jack L. Warner, Jackie Hoffman as Mamacita, Crawford’s housekeeper, and Alison Wright as Pauline, Aldrich’s assistant. The series also stars Dominic Burgess as Crawford and Davis’ co-star Victor Buono, Sarah Paulson as Geraldine Page, and Kiernan Shipka as Bette Davis’ daughter, B.D.
Ryan Murphy serves as Executive Producer along with Executive Producers Tim Minear, Alexis Martin Woodall and Dede Gardner of Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment.
‘Feud: Bette And Joan‘ comes to BBC Two on Saturday, 16th December 2017 at 9pm.
