Hayes Warner Joins Ryan Murphy's FX Thriller Series THE SHARDS

Pop singer Hayes Warner has joined the cast of Ryan Murphy's new thriller series "The Shards", which is based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel of the same name. She will star a regular character named Debbie on the 20th Television and Ryan Murphy Productions show which also stars Kaia Gerber, Igby Rigney, Homer Gere and Graham Campbell. The series is in development at FX since May.

"The Shards" is a semi-autobiographical story that follows Ellis as a 17-year-old student at the elite Los Angeles private school Buckley in 1981. Unsupervised by largely absent parents, Ellis' friend group lives a fast-paced teenage life of drugs, sex and alcohol. But when a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, penetrates their orbit, they realize his unsettling behavior lines up with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.

Warner is a New York-born actor and singer best known for her songs "Predator", "Breadcrumbs", "Shut Up" and "Dead to Me". She graduated from Northwestern University with a musical theater degree and her music has amassed millions of streams. She has also written songs for Netflix's "The Barbie Chronicles" and Disney's "The Descendants" franchise.

Max Winkler will direct. Murphy, Ellis and Winkler serve as executive producers alongside Nick Hall, Kathleen McCaffrey and Brian Young. The project was previously in development at HBO in 2023 with Ellis serving as a writer and executive producer, but it eventually fell apart. At the time Luca Guadagnino was in talks to direct.
