Based on the Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam script “Best Actress,” the first installment tells the story of the legendary rivalry between the two movie stars, who agree to work together on the horror film “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.”

In the interview with EW, Sarandon explained how she felt connected to the role, saying, “I never saw myself as being one of the beautiful girls…So I kind of understood and related to that.” Whereas Lange stated that her part was the “polar opposite” for her.

Both actresses and Murphy stated during the FX TCA panel that the series highlights the struggle that older actresses face as they age in the industry.

“I wasn’t interested in just doing this broad, campy [show],” says Murphy. “I was interested in the idea of sexism, ageism, misogyny. Turning 40, 45, 50 and feeling like you’re at the height of your powers and people saying, ‘Well, you’re done.’”

“Feud: Bette and Joan” premieres Sunday, March 5 on FX.
