Starz ballet drama “Flesh and Bone” will premiere in November, Starz announced Thursday. The premium network also released the first poster for the series.
The eight-hour limited series was created by Emmy award-winning “Breaking Bad” writer and executive producer Moira Walley-Beckett.
“Flesh and Bone” follows a young dancer with a troubled past as she joins a prestigious ballet company in New York. Claire, played by Sarah Hay (“Black Swan”), an emotionally wounded ballerina, must navigate the dysfunction and glamour of the ballet world.
