Emmy Rossum Shares First Look as 'Angelyne'

Actor Emmy Rossum may have exited her long withstanding role in the series, Shameless for all these years but her exit shocked one and all when it was confirmed that she is indeed quitting the show after being a part of it for all these years.

However, that is all done and Rossum has already bagged a new project and she went on to share the first look of her character and show, Angelyne recently. Rossum is getting into character as L.A. icon Angelyne for a limited series at NBCUniversal's streaming platform Peacock.

The former Shameless star shared a photo of herself (which you can see below) as the self-made celebrity for the series, which she is also executive producing. Angelyne is based on a 2017 Hollywood Reporter story by senior writer Gary Baum. Production on the show is set to begin this month.

The show comes from Universal Content Productions, where Rossum has a first-look deal and will follow Angelyne's life and the way she made herself famous in Los Angeles via billboards and cameos in movies and TV shows. 

Rossum executive produces via her Composition 8 production company along with her husband, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, via Esmail Corp. The limited series is the first scripted television adaptation of a Hollywood Reporter article since the publication's reinvention as a weekly magazine and home for long-form journalism. 

Angelyne is one of two series Esmail has in the works at Peacock, which is set to launch in April. He's also executive producing a reboot of Battlestar Galactica with UCP, where he has an overall deal.
