The sixth episode of Ryan Murphy's series, The Beauty, has now been released on Disney Plus, with this instalment revealing in full detail just how the sexually transmitted virus got out into the world.

We're now more than halfway through the sci-fi/body horror series, which has captivated fans as Murphy's latest venture into chilling territory, following on from the likes of American Horror Story and Monster.

The series follows 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, it also has terrifying consequences.

But with another five episodes still to go in this first season of The Beauty, when will the next episode be released, and what is the full schedule?

Read on for everything you need to know about the release schedule for The Beauty.

When will The Beauty episode 7 be released?

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

This means that episode 7 will be released in the UK on Disney Plus on Thursday 19th February - one day after its release in the US on FX and Hulu.

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.
