The official synopsis describes Angelyne as “the glow-in-the-dark space queen and original LA billboard icon…who infiltrated pop culture and rose to prominence in the 1980s when a Billboard series began popping up around LA featuring her character.” Along with Rossum, the cast included Martin Freeman (Fargo), Alex Karpovsky (Girls), Hamish Linklater (Soldiers), Charlie Rowe (Salvation), Lukas Gage (White Lotus), Michael Angarano (This is us), Molly Ephraim (The last man standing) and David Krumholtz (The Deuce).

Angelyne had a rather winding road to television: Rossum first signed on for the role in 2017. “I spent the better part of 4 years thinking, living and breathing on this project, ” the actress said in a statement. “I love Angelyne. She’s as if Marilyn Monroe stepped into the easy oven with ’80s punk Barbie, and a dose of new age spirituality. She is a forerunner, a hustler, a visionary, an original influencer, a living work of art. Here’s a little taste of the show. I hope you will love her magic. ”
