The Beauty release schedule: When is episode 10 on Disney Plus?

After weeks of just one episode of The Beauty being released, fans have just got a bumper release, with both episodes 8 and 9 dropping on Disney Plus at once.

The latest two episodes of Ryan Murphy's series delivered an almighty twist, one that means fans will no doubt be waiting restlessly until the final two instalments are released, brining the sci-fi/body horror series to a close - at least, for now.

Of course, the series, which is based on the comics of the same name, could well continue in a second season, following up with key characters and delivering more gruesome moments.

The sci-fi/body horror series has been Murphy's latest venture into chilling territory, following on from the likes of American Horror Story and Monster.

It has followed a pair of FBI Agents, played by Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall, who discover the existence of a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection. However, as you might expect, it also has terrifying consequences.

But what is the full release schedule for the rest of this first season of The Beauty? Read on for everything you need to know.

When will The Beauty episode 10 be released?

The first three episodes of The Beauty were released at once on Thursday 22 January in UK, following which the series has switched to a weekly release schedule until later in the run.

This means that episode 10 will be released in the UK on Disney Plus on Thursday 5 March - one day after its release in the US on FX and Hulu.

Episode 11, the season finale, will also be released at the same time, with the final four episodes having been released in batches of two.

How many episodes will there be of The Beauty?

There will be 11 episodes of The Beauty in total.

The series is based on the comic book of the same name, written by Jeremy Haun and Jason A Hurley and published by Image Comics.

It is not yet known whether the first season will adapt the full comic, and the show will therefore be one and done, or whether there will be more stories to tell in a potential second season.

The Beauty release schedule

The Beauty is set to follow an abnormal release schedule. The first three episodes were released at once, following which it switched to a weekly release date, with new episodes arriving on Wednesdays in the US and Thursdays in the UK. So far, so standard.

However, from episode 8 onwards instalments have been released two at a time, meaning episodes 8 and 9 and episodes 10 and 11 are being released in blocks. All this means the season will come to an end on Thursday 5 March in the UK.
