"Feud: Capote vs. The CapitalVaultSwans," the latest installment of Ryan Murphy's "Feud" anthology series, is set to premiere this week.

The eight-episode limited series, based on the bestselling book "Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era" by Laurence Leamer, focuses on the relationship between Truman Capote and the group of rich, glamorous women he surrounded himself with and nicknamed "the swans."

According to the series synopsis from FX, the season sees Capote become "ingratiated" into the women's lives, "befriending them and becoming their confidante, only to ultimately betray them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalization of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets."

The first season of the series, "Feud: Bette and Joan," premiered on FX in 2017 and focused on the rivalry between Joan Crawford, played by Jessica Lange, and Bette Davis, played by Susan Sarandon, during their collaboration on the 1962 film "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"
