Miniseries debuts May 19 on Peacock
What's next, The Dennis Woodruff Story? One of the very first projects ordered by Peacock but delayed several years by the pandemic, Angelyne stars Emmy Rossum as the title character—a real-life local D-list celebrity in Los Angeles (where she is basically famous for being famous after decades of taking out mysterious, self-promotional billboards and driving around town in an unmissable pink Corvette) but unknown virtually anywhere else. Martin Freeman, Hamish Linklater, David Krumholtz, Lukas Gage, Michael Angarano, and Alex Karpovsky also star. All eight episodes will be available to stream at once.
