This nine-part "FX on Hulu" limited series about the 1970s campaign to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment finds Cate Blanchett making her American TV debut.

But she's just one of a stellar group of actors that also includes Rose Byrne, Sarah Paulson, Elizabeth Banks, Uzo Aduba, Margo Martindale, James Marsden, Ari Graynor, John Slattery, Melanie Lynskey, Tracey Ullman, Niecy Nash, and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
