Katharine McPhee to Star in Murder Mystery Series "The Artist"

Us singer-actress Katharine McPhee has recently joined the murder mystery limited series “The Artist.”

Jill Hennessy, Ever Anderson, and Ana Mulvoy Ten are also attached to star in the show.

They join previously announced cast members Mandy Patinkin, Janet McTeer, Danny Huston, Patti LuPone, Hank Azaria, Zachary Quinto, and Clark Gregg.

From the free, ad-supported streamer and studio The Network, the Gilded Age-set series follows “an ensemble of the era’s celebrities including Thomas Edison, Edgar Degas and Evelyn Nesbit” as they meet at the home of “an eccentric and failing tycoon,” per the logline. By the end of the night, the mogul is found dead, spurring a historical fiction-themed murder mystery.

The seven-episode series, which will debut in March 2025, is currently in production and filming on location in Connecticut.

McPhee (“Smash,” “Waitress” on Broadway) will play early-20th-century vaudeville performer Nora Bayes. Anderson (“Peter Pan and Wendy,” “Black Widow”) will play Evelyn Nesbit, the woman at the center of the infamous Crime of the Century, while Hennessy (“City on a Hill,” “Accused”) will play her mother. Mulvoy Ten (“Selah and the Spades,” “American Crime”) will play Lilith, an orphaned dancer from France.

The Network founder Aram Rappaport serves as creator, executive producer, writer and director of “The Artist.” Hilary Shor (“Children of Men,” “The Paperboy”) is a producer.
