Ashton Kutcher is headed back to television.

The actor will star in Ryan Murphy’s FX show called The Beauty alongside Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, who are also set to executive produce. The Beauty would be based on the comic novels by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. The first season will be 11 episodes long and are expected to go into production this fall, according to Deadline.

The news comes after Ashton’s past has resurfaced. Photos of the actor partying with hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs resurfaced after Diddy’s arrest. He was arrested on Monday, September 16 and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

A 2019 interview with Sean Evans on Hot Ones showed Ashton refusing to answer any questions that had to do with Diddy and his parties. During the show, celebrities are asked to answer a series of difficult questions while they attempt to eat rounds of chicken wings coated in spicy hot sauce.

After the That 70s Show star was asked to share an anecdote from one of Diddy’s parties, he responded: “Wow. Okay, I’ve got a lot I can’t tell.” Then he paused, visibly stumbling with his words, and finally said while laughing: “I can’t tell that one either.”

This made viewers question Ashton’s involvement at the “freak off” parties, which became a hot topic after Diddy’s arrest. Then it was rumored that him and his wife, Mila Kunis, were separating. An insider told People that the rumors were “ridiculous and false.”

Speaking on Ashton’s friendship with Diddy, another insider told the news outlet: “Ashton has no involvement in any of this. He doesn’t belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media.”

The hip hop mogul was denied bail twice and will stay in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial in early October. He was recently taken out of suicide watch and been getting visits from his family in the detention center. According to the U.S Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections, suicide watch is the “supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation.”
