“Wowza, what a wonderful run @feudfx has been,” the Oscar-nominated actress wrote alongside pictures of her behind the scenes. “So many lovely messages from you guys. Thank you for tuning in—I can’t believe the finale has finally come!”
“Playing Babe was a true highlight of my career,” she continued. “I loved getting to see the world through Babe’s eyes. I will miss her ❤️.”
Alongside Watts in the series is an impressive lineup of stars including Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald, Jessica Lange, Tom Hollander and the late Treat Williams.
“I’m so proud to have stood next to this brilliant lineup of amazing artists,” Watts continued in her post. “Women who bared their souls and showed suffering and delight in such authentic ways. Diane, Chloe, Calista, Demi, Molly, Jessica: you crushed it. Oh, what fun we had 🦢.”
“Dear Treat, your performance broke my heart every day, and now we’re all in pieces without you 🕊️💔🕊️,” Watts said of her late co-star who sadly passed away in June 2023.
“Tom, you are a genius,” she wrote of Hollander. “I loved to watch you do cartwheels whilst amusing and gutting us all in the same moment.”
“Robbie, your words were muscular: pure gold,” Watts said of writer and executive producer Jon Robin Baitz. “Gus, your vision was clear, deft, and elevated,” she said of the series’ director Gus Van Sant. “We always knew we were in good hands.”
“And Ryan, Ryan, Ryan…what can I say besides how grateful I am to have stepped into your glorious world,” Watts said of Ryan Murphy, the series creator and executive producer. “We are so beyond grateful (I think I can speak for all us swans) that you honor women ‘of a certain age.’ You are a vital storyteller, daring to show all the depths of our messy yet brilliant humanity. What a gift to get to call you my friend.”
In the comments, followers of Watts raved over her performance. “Get ready for way more accolades. You literally transformed into her ❤” wrote one user. Fellow actress Kristin Chenoweth couldn’t agree more. “You. Are. Fantastic. In. This.” the actress wrote.
With such talent both on and off screen, it’s no wonder that this series is a must-watch!
