Emmy Rossumis Angelyne.
TheShamelessstar will step into the iconic shoes of musician Angelyne for Peacock’s upcoming original series, premiering on May 19.
Peacock shared the first trailer for the series on Tuesday, giving a sneak peek of Rossum, 35, as the viral blonde.
“Since I was a girl, I’ve known that fame is my destiny,” Rossum as Angelyne says in the trailer. “Huge, gigantic fame. So, I said, I’m going to get the love of the world.”
As billboards and posters are built around Los Angeles, Angelyne’s public image rises. Fans flock to her and tabloids print her story.
“Contrary to what people think, I’m actually very private,” she says. “People should respect that.”

The actress also commented on her personal views of Angelyne, and how much of her own life has been put into the project.

“I’ve spent the better part of 4 years thinking, living, and breathing this project. I love Angelyne,” she continued. “She’s as ifMarilyn Monroegot into an easy bake oven with a 80s punk Barbie Doll, and a dose of new age spirituality.
Rossum added, “She’s a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the original influencer, a living-breathing piece of art. Here is a little taste of the show. I hope you fall in love with her magic.”
