PopUps: Catherine Zeta-Jones to Star in Ryan Murphy's 'Feud' With Jessica Lange

Ryan Murphy's upcoming mini-series "Feud" is really shaping up to be something spectacular.

The series' first season will focus on the iconic backstage drama between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis while they filmed "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Jessica Lange will play Crawford and Susan Sarandon will play Davis.

Murphy took to Twitter Tuesday to announce another bit of casting news: Oscar-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Olivia de Havilland, a close friend of Davis. De Havilland starred across from Crawford in "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" in 1964 - the role was originally supposed to go to Davis, however, Vulture reports.

It should be noted Murphy recently deleted his Twitter account as he gears up for the mysterious sixth season of "American Horror Story." His Zeta-Jones announcement is currently his only tweet.

"Feud," which will consist of eight episodes and is set to air in 2017 on FX, also has a stellar supporting cast: Alfred Molina as director Robert Aldrich, Judy Davis as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper and Stanley Tucci as studio head Jack Warner.

"Feud" sounds like it'll be the campy version of "Hail, Caesar!"
