First Teaser Trailer For Peacock's ANGELYNE Series Starring Emmy Rossum as L.A.'s Billboard Queen

A new teaser trailer has dropped for the Peacock limited series Angelyne, starring Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera, Shameless) as Angelyne, the Los Angeles ’80s billboard icon. Rossum is producing the series as well, and she co-stars alongside Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky, Hamish Linklater, Charlie Rowe, Lukas Gage, Michael Angarano, Molly Ephraim, and David Krumholtz. Allison Miller serves as showrunner and executive producer.

Miller said of the series:

“This isn’t the true story of Angelyne. It’s not a straight forward biopic. It’s a story inspired by everything Angelyne represents… It’s a story about Los Angeles and everything the city means to people who move here and to people who dream about moving here.”

Rossum gave a statement about Angelyne, saying:

“As a society broadening our understanding of identity, this story plays with large questions. Are we defined by the historical facts of our life? Or can we define ourselves? I’ve spent the better part of four years thinking, living and breathing this project. I love Angelyne. She’s as if Marilyn Monroe got into an easy bake oven with a 80s punk Barbie Doll, and a dose of new age spirituality. She’s a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the original influencer, a living-breathing piece of art.”

This teaser doesn’t give a whole lot away. I grew up just outside of L.A., and I don’t remember Angelyne, but I am interested in learning more about this woman. She sounds intriguing, to say the least. Peacock will drop all episodes of the limited series on May 19th. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
