CATHERINE ZETA-JONES is headed for the small screen.

    The Oscar winner has joined Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX anthology drama “Feud,” Murphy revealed Tuesday.

    Zeta-Jones joins previously announced stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon in the anthology series, which centers on a different famous feud every season. In the first eight-episode season, Lange and Sarandon will star as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, respectively, with the focus on their famous rivalry that occurred during the making of “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” — a 1962 feature film. Their feud was paramount to the movie’s popularity at the time, and the picture went on to score five Oscar nominations.

    Zeta-Jones will play Davis’ close friend and fellow actress Olivia de Havilland, who herself was engaged in a longtime feud with her sister, actress Joan Fontaine.

    Alfred Molina also stars as the “Baby Jane” director, Robert Aldrich; Stanley Tucci will play studio titan Jack Warner; Judy Davis is set as gossip columnist Hedda Hopper; and Dominic Burgess will portray Crawford and Davis’ co-star, Victor Buono.

    The plot for “Feud” is based in part on the script “Best Actress” by Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam, which Murphy purchased. Murphy will executive-produce alongside Plan B Entertainment’s Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner. He also will direct several episodes. Production begins this fall for a 2017 debut on FX.

    “Feud” marks Zeta-Jones’ first TV role in two decades. She last co-starred on the 1996 miniseries “Titanic,” with small roles on “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” and “The Darling Buds of May” before that. The actress won an Oscar for her work in “Chicago,” and most recently co-starred in “Red 2” and “Side Effects.”
